#Cornus mas bud zip
The absurd warmth caused my flowering apricots to zip through their bloom cycles much more quickly than usual. Seed catalogs in deep winter are very, very hard to resist. I also tried to contain myself when it came to tomato varieties, but I compensated with a new pepper variety, and an eggplant that intrigued me. Believe it or not, I really tried to keep down the number of varieties I’m trying this year. The crazy weather may preclude a proper test of this variety, but I’ll give it a try when it shows up. At the time I ordered, I figured this would not be a deal-breaker, timing-wise. Sparx - This is a new green romaine I decided to try, because it is supposed to be heat-tolerant and high-yielding.
The plants that do show up, grow well enough, but I would rather grow a spinach that I can always count on. This smooth-leaf variety is a downright temperamental germinator for me - and most everything germinates for me, so this is unusual. Corvair Spinach - If Seaside remains as enthusiastic as it is starting, I won’t be growing Corvair again.I’m thinking red lettuces may be more cold-tolerant. However, like Outredgeous, it produced all winter for me under a row cover. It is supposed to be bolt-resistant, but did not impress me last season. It produces really lovely thick, buttery leaves. Rosaine - I grew this red bibb lettuce for the first time last year.I often have trouble persuading spinach to germinate for me in the greenhouse, but this variety is popping up and growing with enthusiasm - a promising start. Seaside Spinach - This is a new smooth-leaf variety I’m trying this year, because it is touted as being bolt-resistant.I direct-sow a few more when I transplant the starts in my greenhouse sometimes that pays off, sometimes it doesn’t. I get a nice assortment of fast-germinating speciality greens that give a nice tang or slightly bitter note to sweeter lettuces. Ovation Greens Mix - I’ve grown this mix several years now.Cherokee - This is a red summer crisp lettuce that I’m trying for the first time, because Johnny’s Selected Seeds (the source of most of my veggie seeds) says it is more heat-tolerant ( i.e., bolt-resistant) than most.
It faded in the heat a little faster, but it stayed alive and productive this whole past winter for me beneath a row cover.
