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

a couple more

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?
-
Well up north here we've got ours already canned and froze over here and been eating it for a while already to help keep us warm.We're ready for next year.I do like your broccoli though.Nothing like fresh greens.
-
That's a nice winter garden! Fried green tomatoes on the vine with broccoli and dip? >:D lol! And pineapple upside down cake, too! Wow!

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.

Jealous... Nice looking harvest
Thanks Leroy

Looks like the makin's of a good healthy meal, Eddie. :OK

You are a tease. Makin my mouth water. My greens and all took the hit about two weeks ago.
I got a sunny spot on the deck. I hate the supermarket cardboard. How do you keep the bugs away

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.
-
Nice harvest! Save some of those pineapple leaves. They make some great soft cordage. They are a bit stronger than yucca but much softer like cotton. My just be my area though.
-
Collards are my favorite greens. Love them with a little hot sauce... add a lamb steak and some cornbread.... mmmmm
-
I'm jealous, but happy for you. Looks yummy -C-

You can send some heat up here I'm told it's only to be in the teens on Wed.

That is looking great Eddie, I have been to Eddie's and it is pretty cool, he has almost no grass to cut in his back yard, it is just one big garden. :) Makes me wish for Spring although I do like winter here in Tennessee. :)

Trapper, it's cold here for us Florida boys, in the 30's last two nights. Pappy, no grass at all, now and you'd like it better now. Had a new privacy fence put up last weekend.

Yours did better than mine so far . I have to wait till it cools down to keep the iguanas off stuff . good looking veggies .

Eddie and Rodger, not the slightest bit jealous of your crops. I put in a few snowflakes in to grow in December and they have grown in to my best crop ever and only took 2 weeks. 36 " in 2 weeks and no grass to mow :o :o (S) Bob

The worst insect problem I have is stink bugs and leaf footed stink bugs. How do you gardeners control them?

I squish the big ones and spray the little ones. Roger, Iguanas taste good. I started making sling shots and pouring .32 lead balls to shoot out of them.
