Nice Matt! Here's a little of what is happening in mine...

Before...

After...

Nom nom nom. :-)

The Easter Egg Color radishes are sooooo good! Celery too. Lots of flavor.

I have some other seeds starting too. Gotta keep the rotation going because we are a hungry family!

Pt. 4 Banana's: My bananas's: Lol yeah they are toast. But at least I am getting some new growth now :) Its growing kinda fast for this time of year. Hoping for some flowers when the weather warms up more. Some other banana's: Comparing damage- Even after the Artic blast which caused a little cooler temps than normal but with longer durations the bananas in this area still have green leaves. Some spotting and others untouched. But only the lower two/thirds.The top third is all fried. Some even have some ratty looking flowers and small banana's. Cold z10a or warm z9b? I'm still not quite sure what zone they are in. lol. These guys have no over head canopy. Mine has some canopy and on a southern wall. They are completely fried, we hit about 25f on one night and it even took out the leaves that are protected by the over hang. No green leaves at all unlike the ones below.

Very beautiful garden! I'm impressed with the result of your container gardening--all of them do so well and especially your Bougainvillea. What did you do to get it to be so prolific and blooming so profusely for you in the pot? What do you feed it with? Your Pigmy palm looks stunning too with one straight stem. Mine is kind of bent and it's always sending out new growth from its base. Ligustrum is a good hedge to have. It thrives on neglect and doesn't shed leaves which is good. It takes mine about 2-3 years to establish themselves, then they just took off. If I wasn't watching them, they would quickly turn into a tree. We removed a Linguistrum tree when we bought the home and it was standing at 20 ft tall. If you keep them in trim, they should stay smaller as bushes. They're also very invasive. I try to clip off the new blooms early. Next year, I should start trimming before the Spring trigger growth and flower production. Thank you for sharing pictures of your tropical paradise. Do post when you have more to share. Great job with your container gardening!

Yeah they LOVE my hubbys fake turf. The raised bed is one of 4 that forms a circle. They are quite high...but that makes it so easy to reach! Plus the dog statues can't get to the goodies. ;-)

I have to get some more radishes started. We have been going through ours fast! I got the Easter Egg Color radishes last time. Fun! Purple, pink, red, yellow and white. Yummy too!

Well it shows you've put much thought into the hardscaping/landscaping. I'm getting some ideas for a raised bed against a west facing fence now.

For sure I'll have to check those radishes out next time there's a trip to Home depot or if not online. You lucky zone 9ers not being restricted as to where you can grow at what time of year!
