Happy New Year

It's here already. Very cold here in Central California, heat's been on nearly the whole day!  I wanted to post some pictures of my vegetable garden because, well, even though cold here (for us, around 30 degrees F.) I wanted to flesh out the reality of what a gardener can do here on the mild mild coast. I love gardening and I love my life here.

In the garden there is one plant that I've been watching. I think it's radicchio, but I don't know. It came from a package of mixed greens for salad, called, mesclun, or something like that.  This plant has been a growing since last March or April, so it's taking a very long time to mature. Can anyone confirm such facts about radicchio. If it does take such a long time to mature, then I have an appreciation of why it typically costs so much.

Otherwise, I have carrots (almost ready), various lettuces, parsley, onions, spinach, cilantro/coriander, kale (Italian), beets, daikon, celery too.  So here's a few more pics:





That's all the news. Life is good so . . .
