I'll be digging up sweet potatoes soon.

Pretty much all, like six or seven, of my bananas decided to bear at the same time. That was certainly not the plan.

Some of my winter tomatoes, which should hang down and cover the dock rail in a couple weeks, are just starting to produce.

Last year I tried a lot of stuff over the winter. This year, I'm going to stick to the stuff I like best, like broccoli

and cauliflower

and lettuce

and spinach. Maybe I should plant some.

Thanks for posting your photos. Please excuse my ignorance re: container gardening. Do the tomato plants remain at a size commensurate w/the containers? How many heads of cabbage can you get from one container (e.g., do you have multiple cabbage plant containers?). Same way for lettuce?

We planted a flat of tomatoes from the FFA plant sale in late May, and they’re huge now. How long are your winter tomato plants viable?
