Life is bit slow around here in the winter, and it gives us a much needed break from the summer schedule of planting, weeding and harvesting.
It is a good time to read up on organic farming methods, and peruse over new seed catalogs.
At this time of year, we start to plan out our garden on paper. Come planting time, this does make the job a little easier...just a little. A least we know where we are going to plant most things.
This year, we of course will focus on organic heirloom again, but we are thinking of trying out a couple of new tomatoes. We like the looks and sound of the Striped Cavern from Johnny's Seeds. They are bell pepper shaped, and are hollow which will make for a great stuffed tomato. They will probably sell well at the farmers markets as well. Folks like to try new things, and we will give them a recipe for the stuffing part.
Now, we just have to wait until the snow melts, the gardens are plowed and we can put our "garden" on paper to the test.
