Thought I'd warm some of you Northern guys up. It's finally going to cool down here tonight.

I heard it takes 3 years to grow a pineapple from a guy that lived next to our rental on Little Torch Key last winter. Is that true?

Chris, I've had them in a year. I fertilize the tops of the plants with liquid fertilizer on a regular basis.
we've had fresh green beans and collard greens for Thanksgiving. My granddaughter would be upset if I started picking the tomatoes when they were green, she eats them like apples. I had to plant 7 different grape and cherry tomatoes just to keep her happy and where I could get some.

Don, I pick the caterpillars off and when the aphids come around I spray them with a vege oil mixture.

I had a pretty good winter garden here last winter, but this time I have been too distracted to do much gardening.

It was in the low 20s this morning here in N Alabama, I have a wonderful greens patch but nothing else.

Kale and collards, lots of kale;

That looks sweet, Eric. I grew Kale last year and the wife didn't like the taste so I didn't plant it this year. Being in the twenties ought to sweeten up those collards.
