gardening time...

...in the winter!
gotta love so cal winters!
one of the most amazing Januaries ever.

what's your air temp?


our guava tree. every day we pick up around
20-30 guavas off the ground. The birds love
em, the possums love em, and so do we!
we both have taken a few FULL grocery bags
of guavas to work; and our co-workers love em too.

still producing...


our eight cloves of garlic. i planted 4 cloves when we first
move in. they didn't do well. BUT, this year 8 plants
sprouted up! how cool is that?




All this green is cilantro! it all came from one plant
that seeded. I shook it, sprayed it with the garden hose
and scattered the seeds about. A few rains later and
we have harvested more cilantro then we can handle.
Even after taking bags of it to work too!




And finally our broccoli...what a beautiful color on
this plant.

I think the broccoli must have eaten the spinach planted
in between the rows!





the first head is starting to form! Oh-i can't wait
to see 4 bunches of broccoli in our back yard..it
looks so cool!


LIFE IS GOOD! Couldn't be happier...or as Rick said
"well maybe a million bucks...!"...but I would rather have a
million days with K#! (I can thank ALL (NO ALL!) for that quote.)

Hope you get better soon SQ!

Everything looks fabulous. And since you asked, it is currently 32 degrees. At 0400 today it was about 50, by 0430, 40, by 0530 I could see my breath. At 0630 it was 28 and when I left work at 0730 it was 20 and the doors to my care were frozen closed...
BUT we do have a great weekend coming up.
