News from the Greenhouse

List of Tomatoes and Peppers to be grown in GH

5-10-22 Inventory of Greenhouse plants for the 2022 CCMG Plant Sale

Below is the listing of planned to be grown at the JDC greenhouse for the 2022 Plant Sale.

The varieties were selected because of:

  • 2021 sales on CheddarUp,

  • 2021 tomato taste tests and recommendations from a some CCMGs comparing multiple varieties

  • Several lesser-known varieties that were grown in the 2021 Schlaefli garden that tasted wonderful and seem particularly well suited to the growing season and conditions here in Cowlitz County; at least based upon 2021 conditions. (We did a home trial of 27 unique varieties of tomatoes and a dozen or so varieties of peppers!)

  • To reduce the total number of 2022 JDCGH varieties to a more manageable level.

 Homegrown tomatoes and peppers are very much encouraged for the 2022 Plant Sale (Art Fuller’s bailiwick for 2022); however, the goal is to eliminate variety redundancy and to increase the overall number of varieties available for the plant sale… that’s the reason to provide an advanced list. If you have a favorite variety, or know of a variety, that should be grown and sold at the 2022 Plant Sale and you don’t see it listed below, then those are precisely the varieties that should be put forth to be homegrown in 2022.

Update 4-5-22—what’s growing

The foundation has approximately 1000 seed packets so there is no need to purchase seeds.

Note- Because of these seed donations, seed purchases were not included in the budget, and there will be no reimbursement for seed purchases.

This is a list of available seeds available.

Seeds and pots (are already available) and soil and stakes will be available.

The home growers are not going to duplicate the greenhouse growers.

Home growers need to maintain their plants until the sale.

Home grower plants will be inspected prior to the sale.           

When to Plant:

•          Early/ mid-February: tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, artichoke, ground cherry. 

•          Mid-to late March: kale

•          Late March to early April: onions, leeks

•          Mid-April: broccoli, cauliflower, salad bowls

•          April 25 to May 1: summer and winter squash (These grow fast and are prone to flopping over.), pumpkins, cucumbers.
