Last week was sadly our last week to sell at Valley City. Since it is getting colder out now all of our warm weather crops are now coming to an end. I have been picking the last of many things the past couple of days, before we get a frost and everything comes to an end.
Soon now it will be time to start my planing for next year. Although I have not started to pick out the actual varieties, I have started to think about what I would like to grown and what I probably will not be growing next year.
I will be growing most of the same cherry tomato varieties that I did this year and will probably try some new varieties also. I also plan to try many new varieties of larger slicing tomatoes. I will be growing the Striped Cavern Stuffing Tomato again and may even grow another variety of stuffing tomato such as a yellow stuffer.
As far as peppers go I will probably grow most of the same varieties as I this year plus some new ones.
I should also have a lot of beans next year since I am planning on planting almost one entire garden area with beans to add some nitrogen to the soil.
Of course I will be growing all my different colored carrots, plus I plan to have other different varieties available also.
This year we have lots of acorn and butternut squash, but next year I will be trying a bunch of different varieties of winter squash, many different colors, sizes and shapes.
These are just some of my plans for next year. When I have decided what varieties of everything I am going to grow, I will be sure to post it here and update my list on the website. I also have lots and lots of pictures and information to add to my website, and will probably start doing that very soon. I just have not had the time to update my website during the summer, but will have a lot more time during the winter (winter, that word made me cringe).
the yellow stuffing tomatoes grow a lot better for us much more disease and fungal resistant and consistently larger We have had some that at 2 ft away you could not tell it from a large yellow bell pepper
ReplyDeleteSounds like I will definitely have to give the yellow stuffers a try next year. If they do better than the Striped Cavern Tomato then it will definitely be a great tomato. I liked the Striped Cavern, seemed to produce a lot of nice size tomatoes. They were not exactly as big as bell peppers but were still be enough to be able to stuff easily.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info.
