Jalapeno's here in Northern Arizona. Can't get enough.
I didn't plant them but the weeds are growing like ...well weeds :P it's been seriously cool and dark this spring,the only thing doing great is some pumpkins from seeds I grew last year,they may turn out to be hybrids ,if so their name came to me today - " grow in the dark pumpkins " ( yeah,that's how little actual sunlite we've got this year :/ )
Raked out the garden extension... tilled up a 15x24' section of lawn so had lots of grass to rake out. Made up 6 irrigation lines and got them ran off the 1/2 inch main line that feeds the flat tapes that have an emitter every 8 inches. Ready to plant tomatoes tomorrow!
planted all the seeds for my garden to day except the corn. that will go in tommorow. going to plant 20 hills. 3 seeds in a hill. 2 kandy corn and one silver queen in each hill. plants will go in just after june first. lots of italian peppers and italian tomatoes. then constant prayer for no hail.
rained on all the seeds i put in the ground today. couldnt have been planned better
Silver Queen is a 92 day SU corn and Kandy Korn is a 89 day SE corn. They will cross. You will probably get bi-color ears. They say SE does not need to be isolated from SU, but it is preferred. The Kandy Korn could make the Silver Queen sweeter. Let us know how it turns out. I am interested.
Here is my Corn from 2 weeks ago, and onions from 4 weeks ago. First planting of tomatoes is to right of onions.

i have to confess that i got scared off in combining the white corn with kandy corn. i was told it might ruin them both. i did plant the white corn about 150 ft away from the kandy corn. may be not far enough. i wanted to do what you said, make a bicolored corn. maybe next year but this year they are in the ground seperate. i am developing my own land race winter squash. im crossing guatamalem blue with a sweet hubbard type. they are in the same family. last season i got some really good squash in doing this. trying to further cross them this year. also am trying to cross acorn squash with a pepto very sweet small sugar pumpkin. want to improve the acorn squash. they are in the same family. trying cowhorn okra this year, hope they turn out. also filling a very big cattle watering tank with pine saw dust and peatmoss. will wet it down and let it rot one year then plant blueberries in it next spring. man are we getting rain this spring up in this high grass desert. the most green it has ever ever been.
We made one asparagus box, 4x14. Within 3 weeks the first sprouts are already 3 feet tall but will wait till year two to harvest any. In addition we planted:
2 pawpaw trees
Brussel sprouts
Roma tomatoes
Summer squash
Cucumbers
Kohlrabi's
6 thorn less blackberry bushes
6 thorn less raspberry bushes
Lettuce
Carrots
Bell peppers
Cubanelle peppers
Cantaloupe
your going to love your asparagus, ours came into full production this year. we eat it two ways. grill it. and make cream of asparagus soup out of it. just got all my corn planted and a nice rain shower came through. that will make the corn sprout better.
In Northern Arizona, Jalapenos, habaneros, assorted herbs.
every thing is in but a few peppers which will go in june first. now is the time of year to watch the weather and pray alot.
Tomatoes for us,butterfly bushes and assorted flowers for SWMBO.
Apparently not as much as I had planted last week ...4 hail storms,wicked winds ,too much rain and hardly any sunshine isn't condusive to/for good gardening :/
But ...i did get some fresh pumpkin ,cuke, cantaloupe , watermelon and a few other seeds stuck in the dirt,after all other than being muddy the hills and furrows were all there lolz
Jalapeno, habaneros, Thai chilli, sorrano peppers are all in. Wife planted all the flowers. Zucchini goes in next week and maybe tomatoes depending on the weather. Still gets pretty cool at night here.
going to have grilled green onions, grilled mushrooms and grilled asparagus and grilled chicken for supper. love this time of year. leeks are really taking off in the garden. leek and potato soup next winter. anybody tell me about cowhorn okra? planted a bunch of it this spring. how is it different than commercial okra. planted both the blond and green type.
