Our New 42 Variety Spring Seed Set - 2/3-2/9/2025

Monday, February 3, 2025

Good morning! It is 58° and today, it should make it to 86°!

This is a beautiful pigeon. I did not know anyone around here had pigeons. The little dude will not leave our porch rail.

He changes position, even stands on just one leg for a while but he will not go.

Our carrier pigeon stayed put on the side porch all night long. David took it some bread but it would not touch it. I have no idea why it is still there, not moving for about 14 hours now.

Matt got here and gave the pigeon some chicken food. The pigeon still just stands there.

I just Googled it and it is probably a racing pigeon stopping to rest. I think it has rested long enough and made potty all over my railing. It has been inconvenient because we can't let the dogs out there or they will eat him. He is not afraid of them. I thought he would have flown away last night because they were going wild seeing him there. He did not budge.

There is no note, but he won't go away. We have never seen him before.

Matt got here before 7am so I made sausage and eggs for three. He is here early to pull hundreds of orders from Amazon, not to mention all of the website orders. There are a lot and they are big. Amazon orders are almost all one item. Website orders can be three, four, five pages long.

I just checked at 7:45am and the pigeon is finally gone.

It is now 12:41pm and the skies are blue. The air is warm at 78° and it is a beautiful day. We have had several customers. We acquired two new rabbits today, a black buck and a broken female. They are so cute.

I still have three dozen eggs left right now. We have been filling orders like crazy. There are still so many to pull.

The temperature hit 86° just like the weatherman predicted. At 5:15pm, Matt and I went out back to take care of the animals. I took care of the rabbits and gave every one of them a carrot but I forgot to take photos of the new ones. I will try to remember tomorrow morning.

The others continued to work. We had to haul water again. Hopefully, the busted pipes will get fixed tomorrow. David says he and Matt will do it. That is the thing. No one cares about your property like you do. Workers who charge way too much will only come out when they want to, not when you need them. I am really sick of carrying gallons of water around for the animals.

We had the leftovers from Sunday night's roast and vegetables. It was so good.

Our New 42 Variety Spring Seed Set

You can order our new 42 Variety Spring Seed Set here.

The first seeds we will talk about in our brand new 42 variety spring seed set are:

Artichoke Green Globe: 20 seeds
Bean Bush Blue Lake: 50 seeds
Bean Bush Contender: 50 seeds
Bean Dry Pinto: 100 seeds
Bean Lima Jackson: 50 seeds
Bean Pole Seychelles: 25 seeds

Green beans are another garden favorite of mine. They taste nothing like a can of green beans. Grow some and you will taste the difference!

If you enjoy growing artichokes, we've got you covered. Then we have five different varieties of beans, two bush, one pole, one lima, and the very popular in Texas dry pinto bean. These will grow very nicely in Texas in the spring as soon as the danger of frost has passed. Don't wait too long to plant the beans because the strong heat that comes on in late spring will change the texture of the beans.

If you have never grown pole beans before, you will need a trellis for them to grow on and they will climb high. Bush beans are fairly short but they are excellent producers. They flower fast and then each flower turns into a green bean. Talk about fresh...fresh green beans are amazing.

Tuesday, February 4, 2025

Good morning. Neuropathy in my left foot woke me up at 6:10am. It was a lousy dream anyway. My brother was running a toy train off the tracks at a funeral which was very strange...Dreams are usually strange.

So I got up and put some Biofreeze on my foot to get some relief. I went out to the kitchen in the dark and all of a sudden, David appeared and said he had been up already and the coffee was made. It was kind of funny because there were no lights on in the house.

I need to get packed up this morning because we are going to a vegetable conference near Houston. I hate packing. It is so much work and then you get home and you have to unpack. Hopefully, it won't be so bad since it is just overnight but I just don't have time for it.

I think I will make eggs with potato and sausage this morning. That sounds so good. My stupid foot is still bothering me some. I hate when it wakes me up.

I sure hope the rest of the day turns out nicely because, so far, this has not been a good day. I've only been awake now for 40 minutes but still...

Our New 42 Variety Spring Seed Set

The next seeds we will mention from the 42 variety spring seed set are:

Beet Bull's Blood: 25 seeds
Broccoli De Cicco: 10 seeds
Bunching Onion Heshiko: 50 seeds
Cabbage Charleston Wakefield: 10 seeds
Carrot Tendersweet: 50 seeds
Cauliflower Amazing: 10 seeds

Here is one of our many carrot harvests. To grow carrots, you need at least 12 inches of loose soil so the carrot can grow out. Plant seeds at least 2 inches apart.

You can plant the beets, the onions, and the carrots a bit earlier than you would plant everything else. The cabbage will grow in cooler weather as well. The broccoli and cauliflower do not like heat so get these in the ground two to three weeks before your final frost date. Click the link to get your final frost date at Almanac.com. Just enter your zip code and your first and final frost dates will come up. Realize that they are approximate but pretty accurate.

Our New 42 Variety Spring Seed Set

Next on the list of our 42 variety spring seed set are:

Collards Morris Heading: 10 seeds
Corn Sweet Bantam Golden: 25 seeds
Cucumber Pickling Boston: 10 seeds
Cucumber Slicing Spacemaster: 10 seeds
Eggplant Long Purple: 10 seeds
Fruit Cantaloupe Top Mark: 10 seeds
Fruit Melon Casaba Golden Beauty: 10 seeds
Fruit Watermelon Crimson Sweet Red: 10 seeds

This is part of our melon harvest back in the summer of 2020.

Collards will germinate in soil as low in temperature as 40° Fahrenheit but they like it best when the soil is about 75°.

Corn, cucumbers, eggplant, strawberries, watermelon, and cantaloupe like it when the soil is between 70° and 90°. If you are going to grow any type of melon, mix some sand into the garden bed. Melons, including cantaloupe, love to grow in a sandy loam that drains well. They like to be watered but they cannot sit in water or they won't grow. We have the perfect soil for growing melons and strawberries--sand!

Our New 42 Variety Spring Seed Set

Next in the 42 variety spring seed set are some leafy greens below:

We grew the lettuce on this salad plate and ate it just three weeks ago at a friend's house. It was very tasty. Different varieties can be grown in different seasons.

Kale Siberian: 10 seeds
Leafy Greens Arugula Astro: 10 seeds
Leafy Greens Asian Hon Tsai Tai: 10 seeds
Leafy Greens Mustard Tendergreen: 10 seeds
Lettuce Butterhead Tom Thumb: 10 seeds
Lettuce Mix Iceberg: 50 seeds

Leafy greens will germinate when the soil temperature is between 50° and 70° Fahrenheit so you can start these a bit earlier. The ideal soil temp for all of these to germinate is 60° and they do not like high heat so you want these grown before the heat comes on in late spring.The butterhead and iceberg lettuce varieties do not enjoy heat.

The way to grow lettuce is to plant about a week's worth every week so you don't have all of the lettuce ripe and ready to go at the same time. It doesn't store well. Really, any greens that you plant should be grown that way. Then you have a continuous harvest of fresh lettuce to enjoy.

Our New 42 Variety Spring Seed Set

Today we will look at okra and peppers in the 42 variety spring seed set.

Okra Beck’s Big Buck: 20 seeds
Pepper Bell Chinese Giant: 10 seeds
Pepper Cayenne Blend: 10 seeds
Pepper Jalapeno Early: 10 seeds
Pepper Specialty Shishito: 10 seeds

The Chinese Giant is a large green bell pepper that is perfect for stuffing with ground meat and rice. We are in Texas so we like a little spice, right? The Cayenne blend gives you an assortment of colored cayennes that will look pretty in any dish. The jalapeno is the perfect Texas pepper. Everyone seems to love the Japanese shishito. It has a bit of spice to it.

Here is some of the Beck's Big Buck Okra we picked.

Okra loves heat so plant this vegetable once the heat starts. The hotter the sun during the summer, the better the okra does. We grow okra every year. The Beck's Big Buck was originated in San Antonio and is a perfect okra for Texas.

The peppers should be planted as soon as the danger of frost has passed. A lot of gardeners start pepper plants indoors under grow lights or in a greenhouse about six weeks before the last frost to get a jump start on the growing season.

Our New 42 Variety Spring Seed Set

Next in the 42 variety spring seed set are radishes, squash, and tomatoes.

Radish Cherry Belle: 10 seeds
Squash Summer Straightneck: 10 seeds
Squash Winter Pink Banana Jumbo: 10 seeds
Tomato Determinate Beefsteak: 10 seeds
Tomato Determinate Cherry Washington: 10 seeds
Tomato Determinate Paste Roma: 10 seeds
Tomato Determinate Slicing Rutgers: 10 seeds

There is nothing like the taste of a homegrown tomato. Pick it when it is ripe and you have the best thing to eat ever!

The Cherry Belle radish is a mild salad radish that is very flavorful. It is my favorite radish.

The straightneck summer squash is a favorite. It is prolific so you should get a lot of squash unless you get squash bugs. Some years we get them and other years we don't. Make sure that you keep an eye on all of your plants, especially squash and tomatoes.

The Pink Banana Jumbo is considered a winter squash that you plant in spring. It is a tasty squash that stands up to the heat. Winter squash is called that because the rind is thicker than the thin peel of a summer squash. This means that you can store it longer without refrigeration as long as you have not cut into it.

The tomatoes are the finest in the whole seed set. There is nothing that tastes as wonderful as a garden fresh tomato. You will need to start these indoors early if you want tomatoes in the spring in Texas. We normally start our spring tomatoes indoors at the end of December.

Once the heat hits, the tomato plants will no longer fruit. If you keep them alive all summer long, when the weather cools, they will fruit. However, that is a long time to water them. David always pulls up the spring tomatoes once the heat hits and then he starts new ones for the fall in July.

Our New 42 Variety Spring Seed Set

Last in our new 42 variety spring seed set are:

Turnip Golden Ball: 25 seeds
Zucchini Black Beauty: 10 seeds
Flower Zinnia California Giant: 200 seeds
Flower Sunflower Grey Stripe: 25 seeds
Flower Butterfly Hummingbird Mix: 200 seeds

Zinnias are incredibly gorgeous and the bees and butterflies love them!

There are two veggies, a turnip and Black Beauty zucchini in this final grouping of the 42 variety spring seed set. The turnips are a root crop so you can plant them early. The zucchini won't germinate until the soil is at least 60°.

After that, we have included three flower seeds. First, we have a beautiful mix of zinnias. I grow zinnias every year. They stand up to the Texas heat and they attract a lot of bees and butterflies. You need pollinators in your garden so flowers are a must. Put them in the ground as soon as the danger of frost is passed.

The Butterfly Hummingbird Mix attracts more pollinators. It is a wildflower mix so you will get a lot of pretty flowers. Plant them while it is still cool.

Last, we have included the Mammoth Grey Stripe sunflower. This sunflower grows six to seven feet tall and has a huge dinner plate sized face. The center will have sunflower seeds that you can harvest, roast, salt, and enjoy.

The entire center of the mammoth grey stripe sunflower is made of edible sunflower seeds. Salt and roast them in your oven for a healthy treat.
