Let's take a look at the variety of growing spaces I've created, plus a peek in the hives. I'm seeing a high production of propolis in all of the Chatham County hives right now, which is extremely uncommon. I've never seen them build up this much propolis so early in the year--this behavior is typical in the fall. I have a few theories about why this is happening, which I'll share in another video. For today, let's look at the gardens and what else is happening with the hives.
Some varieties that I'm growing:
Potatoes
Red Norland, Purple Viking, Huckleberry Gold, Chieftan, Red Pontiac, Purple Viking, among many others - including new varieties that I just created this year!
Herbs
Lemon thyme, za'taar oregano, skullcap, motherwort, lemon balm, goldenseal, black cohosh, and more.
Tomatoes
Black beauty, white beauty, Paul Robeson, Terra Cotta, Kellog's Breakfast, Dr. Wyche, purple bumblebee, Brad's atomic grape, and so many more.
Beans
1500-year-old cave beans, Roquefort, Cherokee black, and more.
Peas
Alaska snap peas, sugar daddy snap peas, purple pod peas
Peppers

Sweet Potatoes
