I seemed to have finally dialed in that damned spinach so it grows.
Also just noticed today that 3 more of my avocado seeds have germinated(after 7 weeks).
On Thanksgiving I wolfed down my first Tomatoberry Tomato grown by me in my new Florida location. As usual it tasted awesome. More are forming.

I have grown these every year for about 6 years now. I like these better than any other I have grown, nice and meaty with excellent flavor. They are really good in a nice fresh salsa. They are also like never die tough as nails, I had these left when I ran out of potting soil so for at least six weeks they have been sitting in this wagon in 4 inch pots only getting occasional rain water—no care at all from me. They are not growing, but sure are not dying. I think I will pot them up in the new stuff and see if they take off.
PtMD989–pm me your addy if you want to try a few seeds.

Tomatoberry gone wild! Now flowering like crazy, I will have to add taller support, topling over the 5 1/2 foot tall cages. The ones that have not flopped over are probably 8 to 9 feet tall now.
Pretty-In-Pink Tomato, they look a little bigger than last year but they are a hybrid so we shall see.
Cabbage, just starting to make heads.

Well, when I lived in Minnesnowta, many people would say how hard it was to grow in the cold climate......I never had that problem. Then as I read posts on the forum for a year prior to moving to Florida, people here were saying how hard it was to grow here because of the weather.....Have not seen that yet. I make it a point to usually ignore other peoples opinions on many things. I especially ignore others plant growing advice. I do pay attention to what others are doing and I usually always have a couple of extra plants to experiment on. That is how I learn. I just grow shit, it does not really matter where I am, my techniques will evolve and adapt.Mr.joe said:

I hope someone in MI is ready to grow some big tomato plants in 2020. I added 3 ft to my 5 1/2 ft cages and they are now going above that!
The Loquat tree is blooming right now.
They papaya tree is blooming too.
I just planted 8 cells each of three types of Broccoli.................Check the dates on those seed packs. I might be pushing my luck on these.

I have been known to punch in a t-post along side of a few in the past. The smaller containers(43 liter) can be tippy, The 18 gallon ones are pretty stable(these are what I like to use)and the times i used the 25 gallon ones they were pretty darn stable.PtMD989 said:

In reference to the 18 gallon containers mentioned in post #137 and as seen in many of my photos I will let everyone know where I get them(they are really inexpensive), if you are near a Menards store. I just scanned the bar code in the pic with my phone and the Menards app and see right now they are $6.09 each with the 11% discount. I started painting mine silver last year to keep them from breaking down from U.V.. Not positive now but at one time Target had something similar.
The utility tub.
I use a 3/4 inch hole saw for drains.
You can scan this barcode from Menards app.
Happy planting.

Just a little veggie update.
Cauliflower finally starting to poke out.
The broccoli also finally started to make heads.
Can never say too much about the Tomatoberry plants.
Count the flowers and tomatoes on this one!
I even have a few flowers started. Bee attractors: Borage, and Bug repellers: Marigolds

First loops from the tomato seeds from PtMD989. One each up from Kumato and Lemon Boy.
