I'm going to plant cherry tomatoes, regular tomatoes, squash, and sweet banana peppers. I already have some good lettuce growing. Banana-wise: raja puri, dwf. cavendish, veinte cohol, and others to be determined.

I have to decide where to plant tomatoes this spring, as I have no available space lol. If my larger windmill palms do OK through this cold winter I'm going to try a larger one in my front bed. Not sure if this will work as my backyard is fenced and is deer-free, but otherwise they're all over the neighborhood. Wish the cougars would come back east!

Ohla Alpha010!

Si, Arroz con gandules esta bien, but my wife does not like them, and ella es la Bouriequa!!!

I have given most of the ones I grow to extended family, and yes arroz con gandules are very good!!! Just add a little sofrito.

Best wishes

lorax

Four varieties of sweet corn, burgundy bush beans, daikon, okra, purple-gold potatoes, ullcu, some new tomate de arbol, strawberry supergiant everbearing, seven kinds of salad green including red romaine, curly endive, and escarole, gandules, lenteja rojo, giant aji, aji chico, sweet million tomatoes, kombucha squash, and maybe canteloupes.

If I can find a good patch of flattish land, I might get in a crop of barley, and if I get the terraces for the paddies done in time, red rice.

Probably more as I encounter intriguing seeds at market.

TomK

Currently 1 variety of sweet corn, sunflowers, tomatillos, green peppers, banana peppers, "thai" hot peppers, and watermelon.

Planning on adding a couple other sweet corn varieties, potatoes, and whatever bananas and fruiting trees I can get my hads on.

Caloo - tell your wife its no biggie if she doesnt like it, just more for you n me!! Preparation of sofrito is the key to your arroz.....can make it or break it.
Patty - I have plenty of cuke seeds if you want some, lemon cukes, albino whites, I'd rather give them than let them go to waste.
