“Don’t be complacent with what you know and have had success with. Grow a little bit...and ask questions.”
AMEN! BUMP!
I am trying two ‘new to me’ tomato varieties and am going to grow my own Broccoli from seed this season, as well as buying ‘Lieutenant’ Broccoli plants from Bonnie Plants, which has been a great performer for me, so I’m hedging my Broccoli Bets this season. With this dry and warm (for Winter!) weather, who knows what Spring will bring? I’m thinking probably a wet Spring season for us...which salad crops will love. :)
I’m kicking myself for not keeping things going in the greenhouse this winter. With such a mild winter, I’ll bet that I could’ve kept cold crops going well into January this season. Live and learn! Glad I don’t have to feed myself 100% from the garden!
I almost always have strawberry 'runners' to deal with, escaping from my 4x8' raised strawberry bed. I pot them up in hanging baskets for myself and my Mom. With good fertilization, they produce well - and are also easy to get to and pick.

from a comment:
“plenty of fertilizer”
“catnip...nasty white moths”
“cut the broccoli off from the sides into the middle...not loose the whole plant”
In Sarasota County, Florida, I can get some broccoli, but only one small harvest as the season is short. I mainly grow tomatoes and herbs.
Squash can be productive, but it always gets attacked.
