My tomatillo plant


It's starting to smell wonderfully tomatillo-like! I love this huge, sprawling thing! It's had the most beautiful flowers. I thought one of the branches had broken in a tropical storm, but it's kept on growing.

Update

Oh, my. I was hoping I had blogged when I had planted my radishes and carrots, but I guess I forgot. Anyway, I planted one round of those, and the radishes are getting big.

I planted a second round a couple of days ago.

Yellow onion sets went in yesterday.

My lettuces are growing beautifully. Sowed some more seed the other day. I'm hoping to keep us in greens for most of the winter.

Peppers almost ready to harvest! They are gorgeous!

Planted 2 crape myrtles, which I hope will make a nice hedge someday from the neighbor's porch. If they don't die. They came in containers, and I waited a week or 2? to plant them.

Front garden looks pretty except for some bare patches. Well, the one side. The other side looks awful.

Pansies and snapdragons are hard to start from seeds, but of the 2, the pansies are easier.

Started some ornamental cacti from seed.

Growing some ornamental kale for front garden too.

I think I have one califlower plant and one cabbage plant growing, but it might be 2 califlowers or 2 cabbages. I have no idea. Will try again on those in the spring! I am really excited about putting in some additional beds.

Tomatillo plant is HUGE, sprawling, and starting to smell wonderful. We are going to have TONS of tomatillos, I think!
