I was going to sow pole poles in them too but got lazy. I have no idea how they will turn out. I'm concerned about whether they will be able to pollinate properly.<br /><br />Turling - the scarlet nantes are crisp (but not tough), mild and sweet - like a fresh eating carrot should be. The more colorful ones are best for cooking in my opinion.Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09303344546714641616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4778141609680363377.post-27889111463441857152010-07-01T10:11:12.529-04:002010-07-01T10:11:12.529-04:00Twenty tomato varieties???

Every time...Thomas, your garden is an inspiration! Every time I visit I get excited to try something new. <br /><br />Do you have success growing your corn in clusters like that? How much do you grow? Hubby always wants to do corn and we did try last year with some success. We grew them in mounds with the squash and pumpkins like the Indians did. But honestly, the corn was not very flavorful. Think they needed more water.<br /><br />We have a friend who grows amazing corn, so I just as soon trade goods with him. But always looking for new ideas!Loriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05294056530885964319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4778141609680363377.post-48199128384623399002010-07-01T08:13:41.928-04:002010-07-01T08:13:41.928-04:00I'm with you on the potato impatience!

A few of my potato plants are reaching for the sky and doing their best to catch up to the pole beans, but no potatoes yet!<br />Your tomatoes look gorgeous! My 11 tomato plants are doing pretty well. Between Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday afternoon 10 more set fruit. It's amazing how fast everything is growing with the great weather we have had!Fredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01736844421221635306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4778141609680363377.post-83927463514834554762010-07-01T07:54:06.600-04:002010-07-01T07:54:06.600-04:00Meemsnyc - I'm sure carrot aficionados will te...Meemsnyc - I'm sure carrot aficionados will tell you that they taste different...some sweeter, some spicier.
