Rain, Rain?

Well, winter never arrived here in Southern California, which is a bummer seeing as how I purchased this nifty new umbrella. 

As most who know me know, I have a slight obsession with Mary Poppins. I wish I were "practically perfect in every way," but I'm more like Jane, "rather inclined to giggle. Doesn't put things away."

Also related to the lack of rain, I've never had to pull up my onions or eggplants. Okay, that was also due to laziness. Haha. But my onions are coming in again and my huge eggplant now has 14 new eggplants after having been dormant for only about three months.

 

For my birthday last October, my boyfriend bought me a sturdy rake for composting and swiss chard and spinach. I was in heaven. The swiss chard and spinach are coming in nicely now. Almost big enough to eat!

Until next time!

xoxo,
