Thank you for the worthwhile information. I had just seen MIgardener grab bags available (for a brief moment) and wondered what all they might have. Verdict: I'll keep my eyes peeled to try to catch them next time they're on sale. Thanks again!
I grew lemon grass from seed this year.. start it as early as you can bc it takes a long time to get thick stems for using in cooking. Much easier to start from grown lemon grass stems in Asian markets.
Got a nice seed haul with only a couple of duplicates. Rice takes a long time to grow, and takes a lot of water. They do grow rice on farms in Arkansas. If you want to do a seed swap, leave me a message. I have extra seeds that should do well in Oklahoma. I grew lemon grass for the first time. Pretty easy, but I got a small start at the store.
I'd classify Anaheim peppers as a "Mild" pepper. You have to be completely unaccustomed to pepper heat to detect any heat from them -- not even close to the same league as a Jalapeno let alone a truly hot pepper. I don't grow Bell Peppers either. Despite being in a similar latitude, I have rather different weather constraints -- I live in a forest on the east coast where it is quite wet and rarely very hot, and getting beyond half sun is a challenge. Bell Peppers take an eternity to grow to size, another eternity to ripen, and one bird peck or anthracnose spot and they're toast. So I get much better production from medium sized peppers, which also tend to be a lot tastier. Collard greens are the same species as cabbage, just a slightly different growth pattern and taste. Very popular in the southeastern US.
Hello, from Kansas. Like you, I wasn't overly satisfied with the productivity of my bell peppers. Then I discovered planting them in pots and overwintering them indoors. You can prune them back, but honestly some years I am too busy and just getting them inside is all I manage. The second year plants are consisitently higher producing than they were just a year before.
Hello from a fellow Okie gardener! Have you grown nasturtium before? They are so sensitive to cold and heat. We go from cold to hot and hot to cold so fast that I never got them big enough to flower before they died from the heat or cold.
Hello fellow Okie! I did grow nasturtiums in my spring garden this year. I’ll have to look back for sure - but it might’ve been March or early April I planted them? They did ok, they didn’t thrive, but I definitely want to try again next spring!
Hi Cynthia, Fellow Okie gardener here. I grew nasturtium yr b4 last (so '22?) I started them in the greenstalk in late winter. They didn't care for summer sun/ heat - so I moved tower to a shadier spot. They very much bounced back with cooling autumn temperatures & They were fun to eat straight off the vine 🌻
This was so fun to watch! By the time i got the email announcement for these, they were almost entirely sold out within the day! Fortunately, I managed to snag one of the mini grab bags before they sold out! It was so fun to grab them out one by one! (it's lowkey kinda addicting!) Out of all of the seeds there was only one that i was unsure of- its called the "Mulato Isleno Pepper", I'll definitely try it out while i have them! Who knows, maybe i'll find a recipe for them that we end up loving!

Well if this isn’t the kindest compliment I’ve received!! I love your seeds and would love to work with you!!
I'm subbing too. She seems to have a great, cheery demeanor.

Nice haul. I’ll have to check that out!
I totally missed the grab bags. Had no clue! Will definitely be paying attention for that at the end of this year!
Definitely!! Keep an eye out late September 💙
Nice seed haul. It's always fun to grow new things. ❤

That is great information - thank you for sharing!
If you grow the purslane it is delicious but try to grow it in a container because it can get a bit invasive
Grow the fennel, for sure. It is a host plant for Black Swallowtail caterpillars.
That’s good to know! Thank you!

Hello neighbor! That's so good to know! I might try overwintering some bell peppers this year!
How fun! I would 💯 have purchased a grab bag like that if I’d known they sold them. It’s like Christmas lol
It really is!
as a southeast asian, grow that lemongrass, make it into sweet iced tea. Divine.
We are wanting to use our garden more for teas so that is a great idea!! Thank you!
