Crying with envy from zone 2b… :sob:

Just looked up zone 2b temps… sending warm thoughts from zone 9!

Southern PA, zone 6b:

  • Patterson onions (seed started)
  • Amish Paste Tomatoes
  • Blue Lake 274 Bush Beans
  • Aunt Molly’s Ground Cherries
  • Butterbush Butternut Squash
  • Black Beauty zucchini and eggplant
  • Burpee’s Burpless Bush Cucumbers

Best-tasting: tomatoes, Mokum carrots, sugar snap peas, Albion strawberries
Biggest harvest: zucchini, Sun Gold cherry tomatoes, Fortex green beans
Most unique: Chinese broccoli, Hatch green chiles, ground cherries

This year, I’m trying new eggplants—Rossa di Rontunda (supposed to taste like a red pepper/eggplant combo) and Rosa Bianca, which I loved last year. Also growing Conquistador peppers!
