Love the turnip pics.
I created a spreadsheet from information I gathered online at the Texas A&M Gardening Guide and the county Ag Extension Service. It shows when to plant and when to harvest according to when you plant. There are 2 seasons for most plants here where I live.
I've planted 2 rows of turnips, 2 rows of peas, my herbs (basil, cinnamon basil, marjoram, thyme), and there are baby kohlrabi poking up from the planting late last fall, as well as the perennial Swiss Chard. I thought I had beet seeds but I was wrong. I'll have to go to the store and buy a packet of seeds and plant them this weekend. I want pickled beets! Love them!
What I will not plant again: Brussels sprouts. They just don't do well here at all. It's too hot for them and the cool months aren't long enough for them to really make good Brussels sprouts.
Last year I had so many of these oversized cherry tomatoes (fist sized, rather than mouth sized) that I began slicing them and dehydrating them. They were so sweet. I used them in all sorts of things: on bread with a bit of brie; in stews; in sauce; anything. I started doing that way too late, but I'm going to start dehydrating them as soon as they start producing fruit this year (rather than feed the leftovers to the chickens).
