1. Is a Sonchus perhap S oleracaous but I don't know much about other Sonchus. I can't see much of the other plant.

2. Is a Brassica (ie Mustard) My guess is Brassica nigra.

3. Daisy means nothing botanically speaking. It's just a flower shape. Can you show the whole plant? Is it bush like or sprawling? Could be Anthemis 'Sauce Hollandaise',

4. is a leek.

1.
" Sonchus perhap S oleracaous "
Nice ! I'll have to keep an eye
out for more of these.

2.
"Is a Brassica (ie Mustard) My guess is Brassica nigra ":

Wow!
My first Mustard in the wild ! Well,
grown near a sidewalk in a mostly open field.

3.
"Is it bush like or sprawling? Could be Anthemis 'Sauce Hollandaise'"

: It's about 15-20" long. I don't think
its bush like. I'll get more photos.

4."is
a leek." Awesome ! I can let my Mom know they're ready for
harvesting !

Or
better yet, let them go to seed because we only have a few of these plants.

Transplant now or wait (California bay area)

Hi httyuwma That is just about our summer temperatures and the tomatoes do just fine outside. If the roots are growing outside the pots the roots are being air pruned. You could put them in other pots or plant them outside. The choice is yours, but I definitely wouldn't leave them as is. You don't need to remove all the newspaper. It will biodegrade if it is wet enough. Thoroughly wet the paper and you will see most of it will come off and the roots will pull through it. I used to grow tomatoes in peat pots and the roots sometimes came through it. A thorough wetting and the roots slid through the holes they had made and we could peel the pot off.

monkshood (aconitum) in California bay area?
Q

1. Sunset does say that they are adapted to zones 14-21 (along with the colder zones). They also state that they are difficult to establish where summers are dry and hot. They list two species Aconitum napellus and A. carmichalii. 2. They go dormant here in fall and don't come back (if at all) until spring. Not something we appreciate in California gardens. 3. I grew both species, and others, when I lived in Northern Wisconsin and they were a couple of my best perennials. 4. They are deadly poisonous. With three "spirited children of 3 and 6", I'd be VERY careful. 5. I doubt if you could find them locally. 6. We have hundreds of blue-flowered perennials and bulbs that really like our climate here. Many with interesting flowers. Joe

California bay area - Can I plant a fall/ winter crop

What, no Cali gardeners out there? ;-) Beans, maybe, if you plant a short DTM bush variety... but no guarantees. Peas, certainly. When I gardened near Palo Alto, I planted my Fall crop of peas in August. I grew snow peas (can't remember the variety) and "Green Arrow" shelling peas. I was going to suggest that you try this question in the California Gardening forum... but when I checked it out, there wasn't much discussion of vegetables there.

I would not plant it out yet. It needs to be babied over winter- kept from frost and too much rain. Thats easy to do in a pot. Funny,but I just started a Keitt too. Its just too expensive for me to order other types at $100-250. If it was a sure thing,maybe. That spot Rhino is a no go. They hate standing water,let alone our cold winter waters. My doing well Mango is my third effort and I think the difference is that I amended the soils with perlite,and its on a slight bank..water drains well. I had a Manila doing well on the side of my house one summer..but when winter came and the sun angle was low,that spot was shaded at the soil level all the time and wet. It died in spring. Also if you don have gutters.never plant near the eaves also. If you do? Thats a great spot up againts the house if facing south or west. You dont want a north or east direction. Mangoes love hot. It can never be too hot for them. They do fine in spots that would burn a cactus..

Number 3 reminds me of crown daisy Chrysanthemum coronaria (Glebionis coronaria) or corn marigold C. segetum (G. segetum).

"I can let my Mom know they're ready for harvesting " They are long past harvesting as leeks. The only harvest you'll get now is flowers for salads or seeds in due course.

No 3 has grey foliage and although the flower looks like Painted Daisy I couldn't square that with the foliage. Definitely not corn Marigold. That's native here.
