Another shot of the pole beans. They're all to the top of the stakes that are mounted to the top of the cages(about 9 feet).

Beans are looking good SB. I'll be interested in your take on Seychelles. I haven't grown it but, from what I've read, it looks promising.

I haven't gotten around to Christmas lima either. I even have seed (probably older than yours lol), but it keeps getting bumped by another more interesting lima. Maybe one of these years........hahaha.

Great growth on the Pole beans SB,looking at them at this stage you just know there going to produce for you.

SB now there's a wonderful display of pumpkins such a diverse collection to and so many tasty variety's.
You and the wife I hope look back at those times as happy ones apart from the bad backs which is one of life's guarantees being a farmer and Gardner thx for sharing good times.

There are some ornamental varieties that succeed in temperate climates. The plant freezes in winter but sends out new shoots when the temperatures begin to rise in early spring. Yunnan banana? I can't recall it's name, only that it was in my garden.

Didn't no about that ahayastani thank you will look it up.

Here's another banana tree thats near my back property line. It's a different type than the one by the house. This one doesn't get much more than a little filtered sun as there is a complete live oak canopy over/around it.

Here is a flower on my neglected passion fruit plants.

And some fruit.

 

[talas]

Always puts a smile on my face seeing your grow SK the passion fruits look amazing as does that other banana tree.

 

[dragonsfire]

Beautiful fruit !
Too bad too expensive here and cant grow them.

Lot's of updates for this thread. I'll start now with the cauliflower, Kossak Kohlrabi, and cabbage.
Seven each of the Kohlrabi and Cauliflower. A few more cabbage plants but a few are not forming very good heads.
The cauliflower heads got to about tennis ball size and then I tied the leaves around them to blanch them.

About four of the Kossak Kohlrabi are this size and the rest are a bit smaller.

Pic from cauliflower end.

That's it for now, maybe more later.

Banana bunch update, they are filling out nicely.

I've got some onions going in a couple of containers.

The "late bloomer" pineapple looks like it is finally starting to ripen.

There are a few papaya still hanging. As soon as these are gone the tree is going away.

The loquat tree is blooming.

A couple of the Passion Fruit just beginning to ripen. These are super slow!

I've got a few asparagus shoots in a container.
