Sorry about the zucchini. It really likes warm weather. I harvested all the main heads of broccoli a couple weeks ago. Now waiting for side florets. That all depends on the weather. Others, mustard, collards, onion, garlic, carrots are still green and growing slowly. I harvest mustard and...

The traditional southern way to eat collards is cooked with cure ham then drizzled with cayenne pepper vinegar. 😉

The only way I've been able to grow spinach is in potting mix in a half barrel. I think it just does not like my soil. I grew it through winter a couple times and it started bolting soon after it was mature. Maybe it was the variety?

I like it cooked but didn't care for it in salad. The chickens go crazy for it. I think it can take more heat than lots of other greens. It didn't bolt as fast as spinach as spring warmed up.

Today I just walked out there and looked. Sigh. Carrots, Garlic are green and coming along. Onions are growing! Thanks @Sally PB ! I need to start going through my seed box.

They will ripen on the plant if your season is long enough. The technique you mention is used by those with a shorter season. It still needs full size bunches to work. Commercial bananas are often picked green to ship to stores. They ripen on the shelf.

An earth side would probably be good in your area.

Yes very nice. Interesting. Would not work as well for some like me. Flat land, coastal plain. Dig too deep you can hit water. 🤣 Basements are very rare here. I grow different things depending on the season in the ground almost year round. I use my greenhouse mostly to protect things grown...

Build one commercial sized. Then you'll have plenty of work room.

Build it super tall and wide! My banana easily shoots up to 15 ft or so with the foliage canopy at as wide.

I grow a hardy banana mostly for ornamental purposes. Years the main stalk does not freeze to the ground it will bloom in summer. It will form bananas but seldom do they completely mature. Still I love the form and tropical look. I've receive many nice comments. It makes lots of babies. I have...

Things grow so slowly while days are short.

Great job!

Our property goes back into the woods. We have resident Coopers Hawks back there and lots of deer. We had to take down about 35 huge pines when the house was built. I love the big trees but they can be scary during windstorms. We get hurricanes too. They do give me lots of straw for mulch and...

Thank you so much for the kind words! ☺️

It looks lonely this time of year without the potted plants outside.

Love this! Has anyone ever tried "Winter Sowing"? https://extension.umd.edu/sites/extension.umd.edu/files/2021-12/All%20the%20Dirt%20on%20Winter%20Sowing%20Power%20Point.pdf Now I need to finish getting the greenhouse clean up. It is not photo worthy at the moment. 😁 So far as the winter...
