lot of my habaneros seem to be heatless Perhaps they are habanadas? There are several hot peppers that come in a sweet form, such as Fooled You Jalapeno, Felicity Jalapeno and Nadapeno. I remember seeing a heatless cayenne, but now can't find it. www.rareseeds.com/habanada-sweet-pepper#:~:text=The%20world's%20first%20truly%20heatless,and%20add%20to%20the%20flavor).

raphanus, It sounds like you have had a tremendous harvest in spite of all the roadblocks! Your pictures are great. Always love it when I find a garden spider web, right away I know who it belongs to!

10 of my citrus trees have turned brown and dropped their leaves. They looks really bad, I’ve never seen them like that in all the years I’ve had them. A friend who used to work on a citrus farm told me that dropping leaves is actually a good sign because dead wood doesn’t drop leaves. Hoping for some new growth in the spring. Maybe a good opportunity to prune in late spring since I can actually see all the branches for once.

I’m sorry I haven’t posted a garden tour video in some time. I took this quick video this morning youtu.be/lLyMj_ZrcF4

You must have really fertile soil, raphanus. The plants that survived the cold weather look so robust. Beautiful cabbage.

I’m quite pleased with the Kalawen weather station I purchased on Amazon for $50. I like that there are three separate outdoor sensors, one for front yard garden, one for greenhouse, one for backyard garden. The sensors don’t look waterproof though and even keeping them from getting rained on, I suspect humidity will rust them in a year or so.
I’m not thrilled with the Bio Green 2.0 Palma greenhouse heater from Amazon for $180. I set the digital thermostat at 55 and put the sensor in the coldest spot in my greenhouse near the door. It’s 30 F outside and the greenhouse is only at 40 F, 15 degrees short of the set point. This means if it were 20 F out, my plants might freeze. Perhaps my greenhouse is too large for this heater.

Are you using the entire greenhouse at this point? raphanus, If not could you section off the part you are using with a sheet of plastic to make it a smaller space that the heater can heat more easily?

You must have really fertile soil, raphanus. The plants that survived the cold weather look so robust. Beautiful cabbage. Thanks so much. I’m too cheap to buy much fertilizer, but I’m a big fan of cover cropping and planting clover and other legumes. I also think gardening under old oak trees helps with fertility, oak roots bring up nutrients from deep in the earth and when they drop their leaves, those nutrients are deposited on the surface where garden vegetables can access them.
