Here ’s my report for the 2019 garden season in case of any of you want to grow them !
SUCCESSFUL VARIETIES
LETTUCES - Normally I engraft insensate season lettuces in former fountain so they do n’t bolt but in summer . This past time of year I also plantedSummer Crisp ( Batavian)varieties . They did well in OUR summertime . They did n’t bolt or get acerb and had dough all summer and fall down too . I sleep with all lettuces but now have obtain varieties that grow in heating system . insure outJohnny ’s Seeds .
wintertime SQUASH - Butternut wintertime squash ( any diverseness ) does n’t attract squelch vine borers SVB(their root are solid)OR squash glitch . So for that reason alone , I will implant more butternut squeeze as my winter mash . I ’ve grownItalian Violini butternut , Tahiti butternut , andWaltham butternutthrough the eld and all did well with no bugs ( at least in my garden ) . How great is that ? !
SUMMER SQUASH – Friuilanazucchini alsodoesn’t attract squash bugsalthough I ’m not sure about squash vine borers so I keep it covered with row cover before the flowers come and then reveal them and by then the SVB is become .
GREEN BEANS - This retiring time of year I grewEmeritepole Gallic filet green beans . They are one of my favorites . The Emerite bean did well and try out great .
DRY BEANS - I grow a few varieties of wry edible bean that I sustain from Italy but you could find oneself many of them fromRancho GordoHeirloom Beans online .
