Gardener Shicole - Garden 2023

During 2023, we grew: oregano, thyme, mint, French tarragon, lemon balm, sage, basil, green onion, onion chives, hot banana peppers, big macaroni peppers, gypsy peppers, lunch box bell peppers, German chamomile, cucumber, winter squash, tomatoes, and cantaloupe.

I hope I did not forget anything!

Garden 2023

The gardening journey continues!

Successes

The big macaroni peppers (that we started calling Big Macs) were delicious and plentiful. They were the perfect size for stuffing.

All herbs grew well; we had too much.

Gardeners Jerry and James planted plants, watered plants, and harvested independently of Gardener Shicole!

Struggles

A winter squash sprouted on the inside and we weren't able to eat it after cutting it open.

Tarragon grew so much, and the shade from the plant stunted the growth of plants around it.

Defending my dissertation and working through final edits impacted my gardening goals. At least I finally finished officially on July 28, 2023!

New Updates

We grew two new kinds of peppers: macaroni peppers and gypsy peppers

We installed more beds. We still don't have enough garden beds yet. Hopefully, in 2024, we can finally finish this task. (In reality, we always find a place for more garden beds)

From Our Boys

Jerry - The spicy banana peppers were really good even though we couldn't eat them all and had to give some away. The other peppers were good as well. We had a lot, so we were able to make many recipes with them.

James - I liked growing and eating the cantaloupe, but unfortunately, some of them were eaten by animals and bugs.
