Welcome from the San Francisco bay area. Mary

When I don't want to do something I think of it as a game. I set the timer for 30 minutes then run around 90 miles an hour like the tasmanian devil doing as much as I can! Mary

Welcome from the San Francisco bay area where I could garden year round but don't. After the harvest and canning all I plant in the fall is snow peas and sugar snap peas. Mary

What are you going to use them for? Mary

Those darn squirrels ate almost all of my persimmons. Not that the tree was loaded but I managed to get about 3-4. Luckily a friend has a mature tree that some years produces a lot. So far he's brought me a bag full. Need to bug him to bring me some. The season is not that long and I'm...

How do you harvest it? Do you gently pull out a rib or two to keep it going? Mary

Steve, do you get Baker Creek's catalog? Got mine a week ago. Mary

Not knot related but just wanted to say that my son and husband went crabbing and caught 5 crabs, 3 dungeness and 2 rock crabs. Never tasted fresh caught crab like that before and it was delicious! No knots needed, haha. Mary

Flowerbug, I love sweets! Just saw a fund raiser for See's candy Nuts and Chews which are my favorite for $29 one pound box. So tempted. But then again the #2 box is $48 such a deal! haha. All for a good cause. Mary

Steve, those are freezing temperatures for some of us, haha. Mary

Oh it's chilly out there Flowerbug! Mary

Yes. It does well here in Alamada and it's so easy to grow. Mary

I plant my garlic in 5 days! Getting excited. Bought 2 packs of organic garlic from grocery store. The each have 3 head that are medium size. Hope once I separate into cloves that I'll have enough. If not I do have some non organic garlic from Costco and may plant that to see how it does. Mary

It's been 91* the last couple of days which is very hot for us. Most of the houses in Alameda don't have ac's since we seldom need it. We have a portable ac window unit in the bedroom which is to the back of the house. We also have a free standing one in the parlour which helps cool the...

I came here to see updates also. Mary

Well my eyes got glassy and this went over my head! haha Mary

Welcome from the San Francisco bay area! My growing climate is so different from yours. But looking forward to getting to know you. Mary

For those who wait. I'm not waiting! Mary
