Memphs 2023 garden (passion flower, growing, cilantro, strawberries)

[memph]

For now, most of the action is still indoors. Here are my new pepper seedlings, rooted pepper cuttings and overwintered peppers.

Awesome! You're gonna love looking back in the future and we're gonna love all the updates.

Passiflora caerulea (bluecrown passion flower). I took cuttings in the fall since root system is only hardy to zone 6/7 so might not overwinter in-ground. The cuttings took in early winter and have been really growing fast in the past month.



Various other seedlings.

Violette de Bordeaux fig (planted June 2022) has come out of dormancy.


Chicago Hardy fig (also planted June 2022) has also come out of dormancy and begun growing a breba crop.


I also started a bunch of fig cuttings I got from Canadian collectors.


Some of those cuttings are already starting to grow a main crop, with Florea being the most advanced so far with pea-sized fruits.

Looks fantastic!

Caucasian spinach (Hablitzia Tamnoides)



Overwintered green onions



Alpine strawberries


Bulbous chervil?


A couple little cilantro seedlings managed to overwinter without cover.


This spinach looks like it might grow back (also overwintered without cover)


Parsnip & mache


Kale growing back from the base of stalks I cut down last fall.


Rhubarb


Sorrel, chives, tarragon

Do you plan on putting them in the ground or bigger pot?
I know how it becomes a pain to keep bringing them in for the winter after some years

Probably in pots. I'm moving to zone 5 so it's gonna be too cold to keep them in ground unless I build a fig bunker/coffin for them (which won't be any less work).

Seedlings are getting bigger.
