Some people would say that
the small town of Forsyth Missouri is but a tiny spot on the map and
they'd probably be right. However, it is where I call home and I'm
thankful because what the town lacks in size, it more than makes for up
in a great climate. Situated down in the southwestern part of the great state
of Missouri in Taney County I am most definitely in God's Country! The
climate is Zone 6 pushing a 7 and so a gardener, such as myself, can get
an early start planting out vegetables ever spring along about mid
April!
This year, I plan to
experiment with a couple of vegetables that I haven't grown before;
namely Seed Savers Hot Portugal peppers and a few MarGlobe tomatoes which I'm told are heirlooms.
Both of these have gotten pretty good reviews and look promising.
While the peppers took right after being sown as seeds, the
MarGlobe's were purchased at a local greenhouse and look ready to go
out into the garden as soon as the weather settles a bit more. I'm
hoping to get them out into the ground within the next week, or around
the first of May. The peppers may not get transplanted until late
May, however as they are still fairly small.
At any rate, this spring
is shaping up to be a real keeper!
