Seeds and Veggies

Welcome to the Seeds and Veggies Gallery.  I do grow ornamental perennials and vegetables from seed, and I grow veggies and fruit trees and bushes from bareroot.  Did you know that many perennial vegetables and hardy fruit trees and bushes make awesome ornamentals?  Like all of the other individual image galleries here in The Renaissance Garden Guy Photo Gallery, the Seeds and Veggie Gallery is a work in progress – I’ll be adding images here on a continuing basis.  Please remember to check back in to see what’s growing.  Cheers, and Happy Gardening!

When I pickle these wickedly hot Trinidad Scorpion peppers, I'll make sure that I publish my own, brand new pickling recipe (it's a hybrid - it borrows from a couple of different existing recipes, and it features some of my own additions, too) right here in The RGG. And when I actually eat these things, I'll publish the physiological results. These peppers measure at over 2 million Scoville units. Commercial growers of this pepper include medical warnings with the purchase of every plant and seed packet. 08-21-24.

06-13-24. Oh, no! My Trinidad Scorpion Pepper plant is promising me 2,000,000+ Scoville units of gastronomic anguish. These are baby Scorpion peppers in the making (little white flowers, than the peppers themselves), and I'm going to eat them when they're big and ripe, because I promised readers that I would. What the hell was I thinking?

I hope you're not tired of looking at my horseradish plants. They just keep getting bigger and bigger. They're super hardy, and I grow them as ornamental perennials. I grew them from bare root, and I really love having them in my garden. They've got no problem overwintering right out in the open in their pots - they're hardy all the way down to zone 3. 06-13-24.
Seeds and Veggies
My Trinidad Scorpion Pepper plant on 05-25-24. The heat from this pepper is rated at over 2,000,000 Scoville units. It's considered the hottest pepper in the world. Gonna eat one of these bad boys once they're ripe. If I'm still alive afterward, I'll give you a full report. Yep. I'm an idiot.
Seeds and Veggies
I love my horseradish plants! They're hardy down to zone 3 and remain in their pots all winter with no additional covering. 05-25-24.

Horseradish plants bedded as bare roots last year. I grow these incredibly hardy perennials as ornamentals in large pots. In summer, they'll produce sprays of beautiful little white flowers.

My young asparagus crop on 04-15-24.

Espoma Organic Plant-tone.  I am a huge fan of Espoma’s line of organic fertilizers.  Plant-tone is the one I use for the majority of the plants in my garden, including my horseradish and asparagus plants.  It’s got an N-P-K ratio of 5-3-3 and is a great all-purpose organic fertilizer.  It works perfectly for an incredibly wide variety of ornamental plants and edible fruits and vegetables.  Again, Espoma Organic Plant-tone is the food that a huge number of my plants get.  They love it, and it shows.  You can order this product here, directly from Amazon, by clicking the #advertisement link.

A mighty oak... This little guy (in the next photo, as well) was an acorn when it landed in my tropical hibiscus' pot while it was spending last spring and summer outdoors. It sprouted and grew next to the hibiscus even after they both came indoors last fall.
Seeds and Veggies
Once spring arrives, the little oak tree will join members of its own kind in the forest.

The photos in this image, and the next were taken 05-07-23. Above are my asparagus, planted as bareroots in March. Since this is their first year in the ground, I will not cut them back. There should be a hearty asparagus roundup next year! The next photo shows my artichoke and bush bean fields. My dog, Tony, upended my last crop, so I had to start over.
