Armenian cucumbers! WOW!

Super Snow White cherry tomatoes. AWESOME! (I will be saving seeds for next year if anybody wants them.) Cool

How do they taste, CN?

I would like to try them!

We grew Armenian cucumbers about 15 years ago. I am going to have to give them a try in our SFG. They will probably do better. Very Happy

The skin and texture are good, too. I love you

YIKES! I forgot dwarf blue curly kale. It thrives in spring and fall and survives our brutal summers. Never gets bitter and seems impervious to pests and disease. My main group is now almost a year old. It will be interesting to see how long these old-timers last over the winter. (I've already planted their replacements in a new location.)

Can you PM me please, CN? (My settings have really gotten messed up since I went to Windows 10...)

Thanks.

CN, my curly blue just got aphids. Sad

Unbelievable!

Ohhh... so sorry to hear that. With all those curls it would be easy for them to hide.

**AtlantaMarie** 11/25/2016, 5:13 pm

Aphids? THIS time of year? Up THERE?

So sorry, CC!

I'm also surprised. Will a milk spray help? A good drench?

OMG! BIG TIME SENIOR MOMENT X 2! I never thought that just maybe I hadn't planted all of the seeds I had. Then, when I reorganized my seeds, the lights didn't even come on when I filed them into the new system. It wasn't until reading one of your other posts this morning, that it dawned on me that I might have some of these seeds ready to go. Well, DUH! There they were, just waiting for me to pull them out and send them off. Embarassed

(I'll put them in the mail, tomorrow.)
