And that compares to mine - a 4'x4'x3' block of ice. But, it did get up to 32ºF today, and the snow is beginning to melt.

Boy Choy 2022
This is the best my Bok Choy have ever gotten before being attacked by bugs. I thought I had "baby" Bok Choy, but it turns out they're actually "adult" Bok Choy. The camera doesn't capture the way the morning sun makes the stems glow.

Re: Mark's first SFG
What variety? It looks like one of the "toy" choys, which I have grown to prefer over the common big green bok choy. This was the first winter I didn't grow any.
Re: Mark's first SFG
I think it is Purple Lady Bok Choy, and based on those pictures I should be harvesting now. My modus operandi with most leafy things is to take the outer leaves as I need them, so I harvest over a couple weeks instead of all at once.sanderson wrote:What variety?

Re: Mark's first SFG
I also harvest outer leaves. In your delightful climate, they may bolt early at this time of the year. They may extend longer in your "winter." This winter was so warm, that even up here in Fresno, with 2 days of freeze, caulifower went straight to flower.
Kohlrabi on second year
Kohlrabi, at least this purple variety, starts to grow secondary bulges after the first year. Why did I let it go so long? Well, for awhile it was the best looking thing in the box ...

The "bulge" was tasty, BTW.

Lawn to Garden
My dream was to have front yard boxes that would be at least somewhat attractive but also grow food. This plan hasn't worked out as well as I planned, but this year I have hope.

In this picture are 3 tomato plants, two cauliflowers, 4 squash plants, kohlrabi, onions, peas, lemon grass, and lots of nasturtium. Behind everything as a back-drop are walking stick kale. We'll see.

Re: Mark's first SFG
You're way ahead. The Cherkokees I planted this year are only doing foliage. I do have a lot of green Snow Fairies coming along. I also have some sad, stunted ground cherries that technically have husks -- I didn't have a square for them in time!OhioGardener wrote:sanderson wrote:Cherokee tomato so soon!

Clever girl! -- Hidden zucchini
I take a glance under the leaves of this zucchini every day. Yet somehow this one stayed safe and camouflaged:

Much like cucumbers do. One time I look and seed a one-inch cucumber and make a mental note that it has to be watched. The next time I look at it, it is 8" long! How did it do that?

Last weekend I had an "Asian salad" that had raw zoodles. It was rather refreshing. I know the dressing had a lot to do with it being tasty but I could do a lighter version.
Cherokee and Snow Fairy together for dinner.
Mix of Snow Fairy and Cherokee Tomatoes that will go into dinner's lentil soup. My daughter, home for the Summer, says she could eat the Cherokees like candy.
