The December freezes pushed onions into 'seed mode' and caused some greens to have a less desirable taste, but tomatoes and peppers continue to thrive.
Vegetable gardens have had to endure extreme Texas weather in recent years, but they can be restored.Did you plant your potted-up tomatoes? Based on reports from area gardeners, the Thunderbirds, Tycoon, Red Snapper, Celebrity and other recommended selections in most gardens, including in containers, have started to set fruit already.
The main impact that the Christmas freezes had on onions was that some selections were pushed into a “going to seed mode.” In my garden, that was largely the red creole response but other varieties across the region may also have reacted the same. Harvest and use the onions showing seed pods first and let the less affected selections utilize another month to complete the production of their onions.
One of the things that really surprised me was the degree of damage that the Christmas freeze imposed on the vegetable greens in the garden. In my garden, spinach was the only planting to escape mostly unscathed, it showed minimal physical damage and also maintained a reasonable taste. A few leaf lettuce, collards, kale, cabbage and Brussels sprouts survived but not many and not with the most ideal appearance and flavor.
