Veggie P...Mary N, my seeds were also from Pinetree<br /><br />Veggie PAK, I had my soil tested after the soil was brought in. I had trouble growing carrots in my last yard, but it was heavy clay soil so not too surprising. This soil leans toward the sandy side so the carrots have a much easier time with it. <br /><br />Mac Fun Jen doesn't really head like a real Chinese cabbage does. It is sort of a mix the way Chinese cabbage grows and bok choy grows. The leaves always grow out from the stem. But unlike bok choy, the leaves are held more tightly to the stem at the bottom..<br /><br />Stevie, I love the taste of them, but honestly they aren't that much different from a butternut. They weren't nearly as productive as the butternuts. About half as productive I'd say. I might just stick to straight butternuts each year. It would make seed saving easy that way too.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-13652051467918421792011-11-21T23:48:11.363-05:002011-11-21T23:48:11.363-05:00What a great looking harvest!

It takes a lot of pods to make a cup of dried beans so those big jars with lots of beans are a real testament to your good growing season for them. <br /><br />I am envious of your pile of carrots. I went digging in the old carrot bed this weekend in the hopes I had missed a few but alas I had not.
