Pictures, got pictures

 Nothing amazing, had some clear weather, then rained last night and now it's breezy/windy cold and clear. It's coming in waves thankfully, No. CA has had it worse than us but we are getting water from the sky to replenish some of what we need.

I'm having fun filling that little container with scraps then taking it out to dump it. Feels productive despite nothing else happening in the garden. I did plant some little gold potatoes that had been shuffled to the back of the cupboard hoping they don't rot but I have a few more still.

Before and after tossing it a bit with the shovel. Cilantro, tomato, celery, potato, tea bags and the forever to break down, onion skins. it's not going up much and when I was digging in with the shovel, there's worms down there doing the good work!

So two in the north, unprotected bed and one at the end of the south bed. That north bed will see the sun sooner than the other which is why the seeds I planted haven't come up yet. Dirt is still too cold to do much. Will see what happens with these little guys and may take some of the smaller garlic cloves and plant them around the potatoes. As for the seeds I planted, that bed has a lot of oxalis and other weeds coming up so it's going to be a diligent effort to watch for the sprouts coming up in a line and keep everything else pulled.

The garlic is still plugging along, with luck by mid summer might have something to use, likely the tops but that's fine. I saw some 'pearl onion mix' containers in the store and pointed out that those looked like the little onion sets we get at the nursery every year. Should have bought it for planting haha. Might still do that though, haven't grown onions yet.

The little rose on the way to the garden has one flower and one seed hip. Hard to catch the color of the flower as it's more of a scarlet red rather than pink.

The little hummer had to sit on her nest for the last few days to protect the eggs from the wet and cold weather. It's sunny right now and apparently we're expecting Santa Ana conditions...which my sneezing confirmed yesterday. Barely a breeze right now which means more weather on the way.
