My cabbage wasn't much last year either. Cauliflower done good. Beets were horrible. Going to go with some turnip and mustard this year. My gone granny used to make turnip and mustard green with pork chop and it look like only way i'm going to get it again is to do it myself. That stuff eat good on a cold winter day.

Mustards are a necessity around here. Mustards, corn bread, squirrel n tomatoe gravy, and a Saints game.
Never done califlower but I love it. Did broccoli fall before last and it got so warm my heads would flower before they were big enough to harvest.

It has been a great spring. Cucs are finishing up snap beans long in the freezer, and the Okra that replaced it is really taking off. CAnned lots of stuff. around 25 qts of pickles so very few cucs next year if any. Put up over 30 qtsw of tomatoes 20 pints of corn, and fruit as well. more later with pictures hopefully, kinda busy now BBQing for a friends daughters graduation party. Sure is hot today.

Man my figs only coming in like 10 or 12 a day and the birds eating 9 to 11 a day. I have been picking figs at lest 40 of my years and never saw this.
