We had a productive winter here with lots of potatoes, carrots, leeks, onions and greens to show for it.

Speaking of greens, our collard plants are impressive (and nearly bigger than me).

Winter gave us the largest potatoes so far using seed potatoes from our local feed store.

And spring has brought growth. Mild climate, lots of rain, and sunshine. The herbs are going wild.

Peppers and tomatoes have been planted at their appropriate times for zone 9. The peppers have wasted no time starting to produce. Companion planting with petunias and alyssum have abated early pests.

Spring planting would not be complete without squash and cucumbers. Yellow straight neck squash is peeking through!

Looking forward to a productive spring garden!
