My community garden plot is growing! After that first rain, everything really took off. This group of photos was taken on Dec 8. Today we are getting that Pineapple Express rain storm that you may have heard about on the news. I know when I go to check on the garden tomorrow I will no doubt, see muddy plants. The rain has been really coming down, I don't think it has let up since it started early this morning. I am so grateful that we are finally getting significant rainfall.
On to the photos!

Oh I am so envious! Your garden looks so beautiful. I love it. Thanks for giving me some green.
ReplyDeleteThank you Bonnie. I feel lucky so far, only one gopher to deal with and we got that one before it took all the lettuce patch out. Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteI see great salads on your Christmas dinner table! We have heard about the rains and I wondered if you were getting any. Of course all see are the horrible mud slides and folks displaced who have lost their homes. Feel so awful for them. We will get our protion of the Express tomorrow in the form of very cold and some snow, so says the weather person. Thank you Hawaii. The garden looks marvelous. Merry Christmas, Carla.
ReplyDeleteHi Ann, so far no mudslides for us. There may be more of that going on closer to the coast or in San Diego area. We still had a few showers early this morning, but now the sun is breaking through the clouds so it looks like a great day ahead. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
DeleteI am so impressed with your bounty. Everything looks so healthy.
ReplyDeleteCan you let us know where you get the seeds for the greens such as the Lucinto and chard and any of your favorite lettuces?
