I hate pie crust. I like to take my filling and bake it in ramekins in a pan of water like custard. Or use graham cracker crust.

babying some Watermelons to see if I can make it to Thanksgiving with them.

A heads up in case anyone hasn’t seen it yet. But the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map has recently been updated. No change for me.

For those of you who planted broccoli for this fall and winter, it'd be nice if you let the rest of us know how the plants are doing maybe including some pics.

Cabbage seems to be putting on heads on a few plants.
Carrots are beautiful, have a few a couple weeks from getting pulled.
Green onions are ready to be harvested just in time for gumbo weather.
Spinach was terrible as far as germinating, but what did is almost ready to pick. Should have enough for a couple salads.
Collards were planted too thick, I did not pull enough out so what is left is a little stunted, hopefully this rain bumps them up.
Radishes looking good, planted them late and they are putting on radishes on almost all plants.
Overall fall garden is looking ok.

Is it too late to plant some cabbages?
I still have fall squash and tomatoes going but as soon as I pull them up I want something else in.

Bump for a real gardener to answer your question!

Planting guide says 8/15 to 11/30 for transplants. So I’d say no it’s not too late. But I wouldn’t try starting any from seed.
I’ve never planted them this late but I’d imagine they’d probably want to start heading quickly with the colder weather and lower photoperiod. So you may not get large heads. I don’t know this from experience or anything. I’m just taking a wild guess. I could be completely wrong.

It sounds like you've planted a very nice selection of vegetables in your fall/winter garden. Those broccoli you have shouldn't take very long to have nice central heads for harvest; and, after you've harvested the central heads, the side shoots hopefully will produce an extended bountiful harvest too along with all your other vegetables!

It’s cabbage. Seeds are cheap. If it works, awesome. If it doesn’t, you are out a few bucks.

Made it! Raccoons be damned!
Posted on 11/23/23 at 5:36 pm to Mr Sausage
I would love to have a piece of that!

Fire up the 2024 Spring Garden Thread. The onion sets are in. Guess I know what the kids and I are doing this afternoon.

My winter garden is just getting going. No pics bc lazy.
The broccoli that actually made it beyond the seedling stage is doing nicely. So is the cauliflower, but only two plants each. Supplemented with kale since I know that'll grow.
Seeded carrots round 1 at the end of October and then round 2 two weeks ago. Round 1 is doing great; round 2 was slower to germinate with the cooler weather.
Seeded spinach two weeks ago. It didn't germinate well, but I had low expectations.
Seeded onions today. Two varieties: texas early grano and granex hybrid.
Harvested the last of the butternut squash. Made soup for Thanksgiving with the first batch and it was fantastic.

Got to go home for a couple days. Turnips, broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower doing okay. Eggplants are loaded with blooms again, was going to pull them but I’ll let them go until I get home. Okra, cucumbers and tomatoes still loaded. Ate a purple Cherokee sammich for breakfast this morning. Thinking that’s the only one I’ll see off the plants. Wife’s family and squirrels have been keeping the garden picked over pretty good.

Mr Sausage, is that Dixondale onion sets ? Mine should be coming in the week of 12/4.
Posted on 11/26/23 at 8:42 pm to Tbone2
Yep. Sure are. They did great for us last year. We actually kept them in the barn fridge and are still using them. We had about 4 boxes of onions like this.

Same with mine, they look decent, but small for being in ground 6 weeks.

Just a thought, but perhaps the plants need some additional fertilizer, i.e., a side dressing. Broccoli is a plant that usually needs a good bit of fertilizer.
Per the following link,
quote:
Cabbage, broccoli and cauliflower are generally sidedressed when the oldest leaves are 2 to 4 inches wide, or at three to four weeks after transplanting. Additional sidedressings two to three weeks apart may be beneficial in obtaining high yields.
