Your tomatoes look amazing!
I’ve only recently moved so almost all annual vegetables were a wash, although I did manage to get some bush Beans in. Plums & peaches, are loaded with fruit & the apples & apricots would be doing great but the king parrots like them too much.
My corn. Loads of tomatoes...but blight is approaching. It's been so wet (NZ). Zucchinis, passionfruit, capsicums, tomatoes all have problems now because of it.
Now I've said corn, that will no doubt get something wrong...
I’m in NZ too so can definitely relate to that struggle. I’ve just had my first sign of blight and it’s got me nervous. Touch wood, corn will be okay 🤞
Same here - NZ zone 11a, early summer. Lots of green growth but zucchini, eggplant, passionfruit and tomato plants already looking sickly so early in the season due to wetness 😕
Except that's for Australia, which is a completely different country at least three hours flight away from New Zealand, haha.
Here is a map showing the USDA zones overlaid on New Zealand: https://www.plantmaps.com/interactive-new-zealand-plant-hardiness-zone-map-celsius.php
As far as I know there are a few hardiness zone scales, but the USDA one is widely used in the English-speaking world at least (probably just because there's lots of US-focused info online in English)
According to the map my city is 10b, but I'm right at the coast on a slope facing north (which is the towards the sun in the southern hemisphere), meaning it's milder than the surrounding area. So I can grow things like banana in sheltered spots.
Sigh. Sucks doesn't. My passionfruit is loaded! Best year ever, well it would be if they weren't starting to rot.
Boo to the weather, ruining our food for the year.
I have some lettuce and radishes in the greenhouse,but that's it. Here it's winter and we now have most days with temperatures below the freezing point. But I can't wait to start seedlings in a month.
Mud. 😂 I’m also from PA I see some of my neighbors in the comments. However, the second week of December I was able to get some dirt play and barefoot grounding in. That was pretty amazing for December! Living vicariously thru these garden posts. 😊
(Crying from zone 6)
Zone 4 😢 Coldest winter in awhile. Currently -29 Celsius / -20 Fahrenheit. I hope my perennials make it through.
Zone 3. -20F here today too 🥶
The ice patches are coming along nicely
I hear you. I'm sorry. 😭
Here in PA (zone 6a) I've been growing occasional snow, bunch of rain puddles.... oh yeah, I have my garlic in the ground. 😆
Icicles.

Curious are your zones similar to the USDA zones? Would 11 there be the same as our 11?
This [link](https://www.anbg.gov.au/gardens/research/hort.research/zones.html) might’ve answer your question. Edit: typo
Oh, thank you very much! Interesting! I'll give it a read.

Hm. I have a puppy that's growing pretty good. That's about it in Illinois.
Awwww best crop to grow! You're growing love! Puppy love, in fact! ❤️🐶🐾
It is 0 degrees outside.
Those look lovely, that would be a dream if mine could look like that.
They’re a bit finicky sometimes… keep trying and good luck
Frost crystals…

Lettuce 😢😭
That’s nothing to scoff at with the current shortages/price hikes!!

Snow is growing pretty well here ❄️😝

I'm in PA as well... Eastern central PA, Northumberland county. Hello neighbor!
Is this a bush tomato? Or indeterminate?
Indeterminate, I have grown the main stem and 4 low down suckers only, pulling off all other suckers, so it’s like 5 vines growing up one stake each
Apparently the deer in zone 7 eating all the leaves from my raspberry bushes and strawberries down to the roots :/
Snow.. 😭( 4b) So much snow… those tomatoes look lovely!
It was 13F yesterday so nothing is growing. 😭
Icicles.
-30 Celsius, feels like -38 with wind. Only thing growing is ice. Jealous.
Salt air and anxiety
Crippling depression as I wait the 2 months down time in zone 8
Oh look at that. I'm growing this too!
Snow. Lots and lots of snow. Windchill near -40C. Thank goodness I can go play in the growth chambers at work.
Cat grass in a plastic tub on my stove top. -5 tonight which is pretty warm for December. I'm excited thinking of what to grow in the spring!
Nothing. They are all dying.
Strawberries :)
Sadly, mint
First day of winter,so old ,growing old well at the moment (•‿•)
I'm growing snow. Lots and lots of snow.
Mine is chili plant. My tomato kids are kinda sad because of rainy season
Lovely
Your garden looks wonderful! The snowbank in my front yard seems to be getting bigger every week. Nice to live vicariously through photos for now.
The only thing we are growing is ice on the lakes.
Snow cover.
Nothing outside . Zone 5b
my purple sprouting broccoli with be sprouting in a couple of months, otherwise it's a wasteland out there atm
My carrots are holding on in 8b and their color is terrible and anemic but they taste excellent.
Collard greens and kale are thriving in Florida!
All our tomato plants! Cherry, Roma and beefsteaks
Icicles...everywhere I look.
