They year before last I manage to plant enough for the whole year but I have already run out of last years crop and I planted less this year. I can see I will have to buy a lot to store.Liz - Suburban Tomatohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15967077073783256161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6125578595363888138.post-63033308433979654882013-09-24T21:12:55.651-04:002013-09-24T21:12:55.651-04:00Hi Dave, I'm new to your blog but am so glad ...Hi Dave, I'm new to your blog but am so glad I found it. I started a sf garden a few years ago and love to see how others are doing. I am planning on trying the tromboncino in the spring. I've heard it stands up well to disease and pests and I have problems with both when it comes to squash.<br /><br />I can relate to your garlic story. Last year I planted a half pound of Inchelium Red softneck garlic that tastes so good that, even though many were small, I doubled my order this year. Then I started looking at adding one more variety (sound familiar?) that led to another, etc. I am now waiting for 8 lbs of garlic and a pound of shallots to arrive! I believe I will be trading some to a friend for fresh eggs and honey or looking for ways to sneak the bulbs into my front yard (not allowed to veggie garden in view of the street or neighbors). <br /><br />Good luck with yours!The Sanctuary Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13418512389996870045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6125578595363888138.post-49984386486151048832013-09-24T08:17:05.495-04:002013-09-24T08:17:05.495-04:00I mostly planted smaller pepper varieties this yea...I mostly planted smaller pepper varieties this year so they develop pretty fast.

I did better with the fall planting this year but it is still difficult to think of planting lettuce and radish seeds in 90+ August weather.David Veltenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07710293718143454000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6125578595363888138.post-37631571851151499092013-09-23T21:52:25.379-04:002013-09-23T21:52:25.379-04:00I think the skin of the Tromboncino is tenderer if...I think the skin of the Tromboncino is tenderer if you pick it while still green.We (or at least I am) are liking the texture better than zucchini - drier and less gritty.David Veltenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07710293718143454000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6125578595363888138.post-70573289759813653282013-09-23T18:32:30.870-04:002013-09-23T18:32:30.870-04:00Still a lovely harvest!

I really need to get around to my herbs too! It has just been so busy since school started that I have not paid as much attention to the garden. I didn't get hardly any fall stuff going. :(<br />I hope you get a great garlic harvest. Those look like beautiful choices! Nice little harvest!Shawn Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16242486533549946479noreply@blogger.com
