I hope the second batch grow better, really warm weather is coming next week so that should help.<br /><br />granny - I was planning on finishing off all kinds of things this past winter and did nothing. Now that the weather is nice I am stuck inside. I like renovating as well, it can be quite painful but the end result is worth it. <br /><br />daphne - Sorry to hear about your broccoli, I wonder what the culprit is? The weather has been very favorable for them this year.<br /><br />ribbit - You should try the kohlrabi it is surprisingly a nice veggie. I am glade to say I just finished banishing the yellow!<br /><br />tina - I can't wait either, I am not holding out a lot of hope though. It would be nice to have an increased yield after all the work. <br /><br />kitsapfg - These are 'Green Goliath' and have a days to harvest of 55 days. I have heard the longer days to harvest are good for a spring crop, supposed to reduce buttoning. For the late planting of broccoli I am trying Early Dividend with days to harvest of 43 days. Both are new varieties to me, previously I have just grown nursery stock.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07743102355360873845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359929230952480074.post-42842478107201814422009-06-18T22:53:46.882-04:002009-06-18T22:53:46.882-04:00Your broccoli is looking superior.

I am growing "Umpqua" which has always been consistently good and produces lots of side shoots - but the main head is just not that tight or large and I am thinking I may try a different variety next year.kitsapFGhttp://www.modernvictorygarden.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359929230952480074.post-78144775958987530332009-06-18T22:19:34.792-04:002009-06-18T22:19:34.792-04:00I cannot wait to see how many potatoes you get fro...I cannot wait to see how many potatoes you get from your condo.

I might have to try if you say it's good.<br /><br />That broccoli has me drooling.<br /><br />Presprouting peas worked for me, but presprouting beans was a receipe for disaster.<br /><br />Dan, you don't care for school bus yellow? You must never have had a crush on your elem school school bus driver. Then again, not many of us did. That might be a good thing. Change that color!!! Now.

Other bloggers have reported the same. From now on I am going to germnate all beans in modules in the greenhouse until they get big enough to go out. I think they fail for a variety of reasons including rotting and mice!Matronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07705506930308472527noreply@blogger.com
