It's snowing outside right now and there was very little bare ground before it started snowing. Discouraging.On days like this I take solace in thinking about the garden.
When it comes to the garden I'm mostly practical in my selections, but I have to admit that I can be a sucker for a fun heirloom with an intriguing name.
Following is a quiz regarding some of the plants I have already started or will be planting when the weather permits. Among the following list of cultivars are one each of the following: carrot, squash, tomato, pepper, swiss chard, melon, eggplant, and bean. See if you can tell which is which.
I. Hungarian Yellow Wax
II. Pink Banana
III. Banana Legs
IV. Red Core Chantennay
V. Sea Foam
VI. Minnesota Midget
VII. Royal Burgundy
VIII. Ping Tung
And I know I'm a huge nerd. No need to point it out.

I somehow still feel good about my answers, and I have never really liked gardening.
