My 5 Never Fail Pepper Varieties πΆοΈ
From mild and sweet to a little bit of heat β these are the five pepper varieties I grow every single year! I've got my transplants almost ready to go out in the garden and seeds for all of these are available from True Leaf Market!
πΆοΈ Anaheim Chile β A mild chile pepper that is incredibly versatile in the kitchen. Great for roasting, stuffing and adding a little flavor without too much heat.
πΆοΈ JalapeΓ±o β The classic! Every garden needs at least one jalapeΓ±o plant. Perfect for fresh eating, pickling and making homemade salsa.
πΆοΈ Corno Di Toro Rosso β An Italian heirloom sweet pepper shaped like a bull's horn. Absolutely beautiful in the garden and amazing flavor β one of my favorites!
πΆοΈ Sweet Banana β A prolific and reliable sweet pepper that produces like crazy all season long. Great for fresh eating and pickling.

Fertilizing too soon can actually hurt your plants.
Young seedlings have delicate roots that are easily burned by fertilizer, wait until you see those first true leaves before feeding. Your plants will thank you!

My Favorite Popcorn Variety for the Garden π½
Did you know you can grow your own popcorn at home β and it's easier than you think!
My favorite variety is Robust Yellow Hulless from True Leaf Market, and I grow it for two reasons:
π½ Amazing homegrown popcorn β Nothing beats popcorn grown right in your own backyard. The flavor is incredible and it's a fun crop the whole family can enjoy!
πΎ It doubles as a grain crop β Robust Yellow Hulless can be milled into cornmeal making it one of the few grains you can easily grow in a small space garden. If you are interested in growing your own food and becoming more self sufficient this one is a must grow!
Seeds are available from True Leaf Market at π±

Mother's Day isn't just about flowers, it's a gardening milestone!
The 'Mother's Day Rule' is the old gardening wisdom that says once Mother's Day passes, the last frost is behind you and it's safe to get your tender seedlings outside.
So this Sunday, celebrate Mom AND mother nature by getting your hands in the dirt together. Happy planting! πΈπ±
