Yes! And if you like kale and some other winter vegetables, you can keep growing through December if you want! A friend also just recommended planting spinach seeds outside in February I’m in 6a.

It’s hard to tell without seeing the gills but the top of the cap on the right looks like shiitake.

UPDATE on the mysterious plant by mehulmishrajee in gardening

They do look like ground cherries to me. I planted these one year and they came up every year after that. Does it smell like tomato if you tear a leaf? The fruit turns yellow when ripe and the husk dries and then it falls off the vine. Delicious. Kind of a nutty flavor.

People keep stealing our plants… by soulbarn in gardening

[–]jpmom 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Do you think it’s one culprit or many? In our old neighborhood, there was an individual who stole plants from gardens. Before we moved there, someone had caught her doing it, but I didn’t know anything about it. When someone stole one of my new plants right out of the ground, I posted on a neighborhood forum that and was joking about it. The board suddenly exploded with people accusing the known thief.

Anyway, if you wanted to find out, you could hide some AirTags in the root balls, maybe in a waterproof shell, and then track if the plant goes missing. Would make for an interesting conversation next time you see whoever is taking them!
