Winter comings and goings

Winter comings and goings

Winter is one of my favorite seasons. It is cold, so hard work like composting and mulching are not as bad as doing it say in 90 degree heat. Winter veggies are great, like lettuce, cilantro, radish and broccoli

Amaryllis blooms. Here it is in the makeshift “greenhouse”, which is a screened in porch we use to over-winter some of our potted plants

Time to start spring seeds. Next year, I will be more careful about spacing. I planted zinnia seeds next to fireworks gomphrena seeds. The zinnias grew faster and shaded the gomphrena, reducing success rate…still had plenty for myself and lots to give away.

Loquat blooms and we all hope there will not be a late freeze that aborts the fruit
