Thinning out the Loquat so that each fruit has a chance to fatten up

Yes, it's a tomato!
Poor Fig tree, got a large branched pruned off this year as it was obstructing the sunlight to one of the raised beds.

Looks good. Our banana plants were also hit by the frost, not to mention the Santa Ana winds. The size of your fig tree gives me hope -- our fig tree gave its first fig this year.
By the way, is the napa cabbage fairly easy to grow -- other than tying to blanch? We grow regular cabbage but would like to try the Napa.

Hi Sandra, thanks for stopping by! The napa cabbage is very easy to grow, same needs as cabbage, but I think it's faster. We tried a green manure method of underplanting hairy vetch this year, and the napa seemed to love it. We allowed the vetch to grow for about a month before we started the napa. Well aged chicken or steer manure should work fine too.
