A tomato that looks like a red pepper, shape & almost no center flesh. Developed for stuffing. 🤷. Hey, nothing to do & kinda cute idea. Report on results late summer.
I grew Yellow Stuffers last year. The neighbor loved them because his wife makes stuffed tomatoes. They were easily emptied for stuffing.

@LaurenRitz is first pic a zipper bag from blankets/linens, etc? Good idea. Have a few of those but, new use.

Looking at my little 4shelf starter greenhouse on back porch -- waiting to be used. Weather for next week tells me to wait until after that blows thru.
Yep. Walmart bed bag. Each perfectly fits 2 standard size growing trays, and I line underneath with old feed bags jic the bag leaks.

I'm thinking about starting some cabbage and cauliflower seeds in a couple of weeks. Zero outside right now, going to be a cold night.
I'm south of Houston so I can generally grow something almost year-round. We've got low 20's or maybe even teens coming up in the next few days which is fairly unusual for us. And snow! Snow is rare as hen's teeth around here, lol. Haven't decided yet if I'll cut the rest or mulch heavy, cover and cross my fingers.

I'd say harvest what you can. If the plants survive, they'll recover better without having to provide energy to the fruit.

I have had cabbage do fine here in the 20s in the spring as long as they weren't in the seedling stage.

Right now everything outside is covered in snow and the temp is currently -6°F.
