Choosing which variety of tomato or other edible to grow from seed can be overwhelming, particularly for gardeners new to seed starting. If, after following my earlier recommendations, your head is still spinning here's some of my favorite edible varieties.
January is the time for Connecticut gardeners to dream up plans for the spring and summer garden. For gardeners who start indoor seedlings, it's time to order seeds. This can be a daunting task if you read every catalogue that comes in the mail. Most people don't have this amount of time … I know I don't … so my first weeding project of each growing season involves weeding seed catalogues.
Good company, lively conversation, tasty food, and an enveloping walk around and under growing and blooming greenery … this is my idea of a great way to spend an early spring day. Add in a few other garden bloggers and it's a recipe for fun. I met garden bloggers Cyndy from Gardening Asylum, Scott from Blue Heron Landscapes, and Layanee from Ledge and Gardens, at The Vanilla Bean Café in Pomfret, CT – it's a great little lunch spot if you're in the area – then we caravanned to Logee's in Danielson, CT.
My Connecticut gardens are finally covered in snow but this doesn't mean all plant material has stopped growing. In a sunny window an amaryllis has grown from a small shoot to two-feet of blooming potential and, nearby, running a close second in the growing-taller race is a swelling stack of seed catalogues.
