3/3/24 ~ Ignore my dirty walkway 😅 I’ve been pulling weeds & pruning my rose bush all morning.
Garlic update - got this hard neck garlic from the local Amish market & I planted this along my sidewalk back in September. Coming along! My first time actually doing garlic in the garden 🧄

Growing your own organic carrots from seeds at home is easy and can provide you color, flavor and nutrition. Carrots are a great source of beta-carotene and antioxidants and so delicious.
This popular root vegetable performs best in cool temperatures "between 60-70˚F" and may be planted as soon as the soil can be worked in early spring.
Carrots take between 70 to 80 days to reach full maturity, so patience is needed to harvest. It can take the seeds about ten days to sprout, sometimes much longer if the seeds are covered in clay. Patience and careful watering are needed during this time.
Always choose the best carrot seeds that you can grow in your climate!
There are a wide variety of shapes and sizes of carrots you can grow, depending on your climate.

So I'm thinking that in addition to breeding tomatoes to get massive diversity, I think I'd like to do the same with okra as it receives less attention.
This year I grew two varieties of okra (abelmoschus esculentus) and one abelmoschus calliei plant, which is a relative and hybrid in origin itself. Clemson spineless and red burgundy. Next season I'm adding abelmoschus moschata to the mix, I'd like to bring together as much possible diversity so that I can bring disease and pest resistance AS WELL AS phenotypal variation. I hope it tastes good but the main goal is just to see what weirdness happens.
My tomatoes are gonna have the most attention but I think okra deserves this attention, the bugs love the Clemson spineless more than any of the other varieties and my guess is the lack of spines on the fruit. Excited for this next season.
