My first harvest from my indoor herb garden started on January 8th! 🪴 I am in love with this Lemon Basil! 🍋 I’m thinking it may be warm enough now to move the cilantro outside for spring, too!

Finally have the strawberries planted out in the milk crate strawberry towers! 🍓 Varieties are Sweet Charlie (June-bearing) and Seascape (Ever-bearing) that I started from bare root about a month ago. Sweet Charlie did notably better than the Seascape. More than half of the Seascape bare roots failed to grow, so I may be on the lookout for more to fill out their tower. 🌱 Let me know if you know a good place to get some bare root seascape strawberries!

My beautiful lettuce babies 🥰
These varieties were chosen for this year’s spring/summer garden for their heat tolerance and resistance to bolting, important qualities for my climate in North Carolina Zone 7B. I also chose romaine, leaf, and bibb-type lettuces to add a variety of textures and colors to our salad bowls! 🥗
👇Variety Info:👇

🥬Cimmaron Red Romaine🥬
Heirloom ~ 60-70 days
Beautiful heads with deep red tips that fade to bright-green. Virtually impervious to bolting.

🥬Parris Island Romaine🥬
Heirloom ~ 21-68 days
Crunchy, sweet leaves and a buttery-green heart. Vigorous growth! Named after Parris Island, South Carolina and beloved by growers of the eastern seaboard. Moderate bolt resistance.

🥬Red Salad Bowl Leaf Lettuce🥬
Heirloom ~ 50 days
Garnet colored lobe leaf lettuce that is tasty AND ornamental! Slow to bolt, does well in warmer weather

🥬Slow-Bolt Leaf Lettuce🥬
~ 48 days
Bright-green ruffled leaves with great heat tolerance. Excellent choice for southern gardens!

🥬Merveille 4 Seasons Bibb Lettuce🥬
Heirloom ~ 70-80 days
Marvelous red-tipped French heirloom that is a true wonder! Holds it’s flavor in the heat and can be grown year round in most areas.

🥬Buttercrunch Bibb Lettuce🥬

Reliable, dark-green leaves in compact heads. Holds well under heat and stress, good bolt resistance.

Valentine’s taters! 💘🥔 a.k.a. How I chit/green sprout my potatoes! I place them eye-side up in a semi-bright area and wait… a few days before planting (in about 4 weeks) I will cut some of the bigger taters to maximize the number of potato plants.

That face when you get two sacks of old taters in the mail! 😂 But for real, I’m so excited to be trying out these seed potatoes. 🥔 I’ve always just grown from organic grocery store potatoes… which works! But you don’t know the variety, and I want to start saving my homegrown potatoes to have my own seed potatoes. 😁 So I went ahead and invested in ‘Red Norland’ and ‘Yukon Gold’. Started the chitting process today! 🌱
