Coleslaw from home grown napa cabbage and carrots. Iā€™ve kept the cabbage in a plastic bag in the fridge since about end of November. Iā€™m surprised how well it kept. The carrots are still coming out of the ground!

Gold Rush apples. They donā€™t seem to go bad!

Loving the jam I made this summer from Bavay plums. Itā€™s a notch below my apricot jam (especially, the batch made from Anya seedling varieties) but still quite outstanding.

Last batch of tatsoi, even my picky eating daughter likes this veg, but this is it for this bed, Iā€™m pulling out everything. I donā€™t have much luck with growing cabbages either, they are not tight.

Ice gone. No green leaves currently to harvest here. Maybe some mustard or chicory or dandelions before too longā€¦ I enjoy fresh ā€˜greensā€™.

Pumpkin cubes from Musquee de Provence pumpkin. Iā€™m making my last turkey today, so itā€™s going to be mashed with sweet potato/yam. I really donā€™t know what else to do with it, not good enough to make pie.

Meyer lemons from our little greenhouse tree. I plan to paint them and then make lemonade. Lotsa yellow!

I canā€™t believe you have such a similar photo to ones Iā€™ve been taking! - Even the plate is so like the one I chose! I didnā€™t shoot my lemons on it . . . but I did shoot my pomegranates.
I went to HomeGoods, in search of beaded white plates . . . and found these! I like painting ā€˜whiteā€™. :grin:
Had to share.

@PomGranny, you and I are both artists, I like white plates better because they show up my fruits better.
What variety is your Pom, I just planted Wonderful yesterday.

@SoCalGardenNut , The red ones are Granadas, in the photos. The pale ones are Wonderfulā€™s that never ā€˜colored upā€™. I still canā€™t believe we have the same plates! LOL

Batavian escarole, I just broadcast my seeds and some came up. Itā€™s a bit small but I need some salad for my husband because I have nothing in the fridge.

I like to get my tea boiling again and then put a teaspoon of gold sift hash powder in there. Seems to really help with the sniffles on a cold dreary day.

Growingfruit is the only forum I signed on to. I always respect other peopleā€™s opinion even when I disagree.
However, when medical substance is treated as fruits or vegetables itā€™s time for me to say goodbye.
Thank you Scott for all the good work you have done, and all the kind members who have helped me all these years.
