Just harvested 7 eggplants from my plant going on its third year. It’s ready for its winter haircut. It has taken over my raised bed. I also have a dwarf tomato that is producing like nobody’s business. I’m in Orange County, CA. 12 or so broccoli and cauliflower doing very well and an entire raised bed of Dixon variety pack onion starts. All the greens and roots coming up as well. Thanks for the zone 10 encouragement!
Florida Broadleaf Mustard really thrives in low light.The leaves get massive and I like to eat the stalks like celery. It transplants well if you drop some seeds and it pops up or you want to start a bunch in pots.
Here in our zone 10 homestead, we just finished planting sugar beets, and regular red and yellow beets too. We also sowed parsnips, carrots and more beets as a succession of those. We have a lot of large heads of lettuce now, plus mustard, kale and collard greens are also ready to pic from. Celery is a Perennial and ours are large and great. I left my turmeric in the soil, since the plants were small this year, but to my surprise they still produce. We have a lot, so we are enjoying cold pressed vegetable juice every day. All of my herbs are also doing great. It has also been the time for me to calculate how much we have grown this year, and 🎉🎉 I passed 1 metric ton aka 2206 pounds of vegetables, fruit, berries, seeds and nuts. We harvested 418 pounds of sweet potatoes this year, and since our goal was 240 pounds, I get to make starch, something I am excited about. We are gluten free, due to celiac, and I use this starch in a lot of recipes, since I am allergic to potatoes. Unfortunately it’s something it’s nearly impossible to find organic, but at least it’s very easy to make. In my small nursery I have basil growing since we like to eat basil fresh year round, and basil looses a lot of the taste with preservation. I also have several trays with Asian greens, and two trays with more lettuce. We go through several hundreds during the cold season. Of course I am also growing cabbages. My green and red are growing pretty slow, but my Chinese cabbages are already very big, and both my Boc choy and pac choy looks good. We grow those for the kimchi and kraut we always make in spring. Now it’s time to prune my fruit trees, and relax until January when we transplant onions and leeks. We still haven’t spread out our wild flower seeds, since we haven’t gotten any rain yet. I prefer to plant them when it’s raining, since the birds don’t steal as many seeds that way.
Love the channel! First year flower farmer starting seeds, just planted 20k Procut sunflowers for Valentine's. We're Central Cali and it's been so temperate I had to start. Thanks for the great content.
I am growing bok choy, broccoli, lettuce, carrots, radishes. I also have the last season cucumber, tomatoes and eggplants. They are growing very slow but they are hanging on there. Started some herbs like thyme, hope they will grow faster.
Growing Garlic, onion, broccoli, cauliflower, a few sunflowers, snap dragons, lettuce and geranium
Nice! How big is your space, in ground or raised?
Me to!

3:42 definitely an adjustment doing winter garden everything is in slow motion

Do you have a video about increasing our soil microbes?
It's been such a dry season, but the bok choy keeps going
Long time watcher. Definitely remove that bing bong.
I assume the Russian banana potato right?
