I saw a hint of your new raised beds to the side in the last pictures you last shared on another thread. It looked like everything was doing really well. Whatcha' up to in the veggie patch? You're right on with getting those seeds started now and made me remember to order what else need today...

I started about 20 new tomato plants from cuttings before they said we were going to have hard freezes a couple of weeks ago, and the tomato plants luckily haven't frozen yet.

Have you ever tried taking cuttings from tomatoes? I have some plants still going from 3 years ago from the original parents this way.

Its kind of fun. To a gardener anyways! Hilarious!
Thumb of 2014-01-25/DavidofDeLand/39766dThis is one of those freak cabbages that happen. Its forming 3 heads.
Thumb of 2014-01-25/DavidofDeLand/cbe0f8The rest of the green cabbages are forming well.
Thumb of 2014-01-25/DavidofDeLand/9181faThe Tomatoes are looking a little frost frazzled but still producing!
Thumb of 2014-01-25/DavidofDeLand/e9fd2dThe Malabar Spinach is usually cooked spinach the minute it freezes, but so far is hanging in! They have been burnt a bit...
Thumb of 2014-01-25/DavidofDeLand/993147The leaves are thick like succulents and are delicious and nutritious sauteed. They get snotty if you boil them :tongue_smilie:

The beautiful berries come from pretty little pink flowers. The stems are scarlet, and the plants are beautiful in the Summer. Dye is made from the berries. They reseed freely from each of those berries.
Want some? Smiling
