Your lettuce looks really good; what kind is that? And are those strawberries on the right?

I knew this was going to happen. The pictures are Marco's. I just linked them. None of that is mine. I do think those are strawberries.

Yes, those are strawberries. They will ripen in early spring and are the best for this part of Texas and have large strawberries.

The lettuce is Black Seeded Simpson and I like the look of it so I'm going to stick with it as it will grow for me.

In that same container with the lettuce, I have a few Brussels Sprouts and a few Cucumbers. Every plant out there is a “test” plant since I've never grown anything. I have to know what I can grow well in my space.

Now, food plants I didn't grow from seed are the strawberries, the Walking Onions, sweet potato slips, and that one cherry tomato plant. Everything else you see was grown from seed. I had to prove to myself I could grow from seed.

In the two larger planters where a white chair is in front of them (I hung the net over that chair to keep the net off the plants, is Turnips in one and Baby Finger Carrots in the other. The large pink planter has three sorry tomato plants in it because I didn't plant them right. To the right of that large pink planter is a cherry tomato I bought at Lowes. There is one large tomato on it and blossoms. In that picture, you can see the black composter on the left. In another picture or two you can see the small greenhouse on the left beside the composter, to place seeds after I sprout them inside. Being the in the greenhouse should condition them to be outside.

In the net room are tomatoes in the back that are hard to see, sweet potatoes in front on the side, Zinnia flowers, BUSH BEANS and I have three beans, each one on a different plant. That tells me I can grow these beans. Also in there is another “T” squash plant.
