Things to Come in My Garden

The SoCal winter weather has been nearly perfect by my assessment. We’ve had twice the usual rain in November and December. Nights have been cool, days sunny and no unseasonably hot days. The soil in the raised beds requires little supplemental stored rainwater under a layer of pine needle mulch. And so the garden grows.
