So much for rainy weather, for now.

 It is clear, breezy and no rain expected for two more days. Expected to be 71 and from Wednesday on it's supposed to be cloudy, cold and rainy. Will see how that works out. Guess I planted the onion and tomato seeds a bit too soon again?

The potatoes are just leaping out of the ground! Top growth is healthy but will have to wait until summer to see what size spuds were able to form.

 

While watering I noticed itty bitty seedlings and realized it must be the radishes finally coming up. I definitely put them in too deep if it took them this long. There's only like two or three so when it starts warming up again I'm just going to toss the seeds out there with some lettuce and carrots and see what happens.

I looked at the cage trellis arrangement and realized it was just not what is going to work but I have no other options at this point.

Onions are so hard to see given the leaves are just threads of green but they're there. Again not many but still have those seeds even after planting another row. Might do another row between the cilantro and the first row.

So Fenugreek is coming up again as well as some onions she planted and I think, a small sage plant. Not surprising that stick hasn't done anything but the prickly lettuce in the next bed is gangbusters. Like they do this time of year. That, along with the wild oats and grasses are the primary green in the hills right now.

We actually have some wild fennel as well in some of the canyons, since the park service never uses any sprays or pesticides it's actually 'organically grown' and some Asians and islanders know this and go pick it in the spring. Weed control and fresh greens, win win.

So one of the tenants downstairs has her collection of plants (real and fake) that blue cover is over her creeping charlie...that's under the stairs... because it was supposed to be frosty. At the opposite corner of the porch is a small clump of pansies she just planted and next to that is a cone trimmed rosemary bush. Which she covered the other evening because...there was going to be frost. She's under the walkway of the upstairs so there's no chance of frost hitting those plants.  (The tiny little potted plant next to the blue pot is actually an artificial succulent.) An eclectic collection to be sure but the pansies replaced the chrysanthemums that were there and died. Yet another situation of insufficient understanding of gardening and instructions. 

I took a picture of the aloes at the end of the garden to remind me that's where I mean to put the other potted aloe. If it rains on Wednesday it won't happen for a week, will see if I can do that tomorrow or maybe later today. I really don't care about aloes, they're ugly most of the time, it's the plant of choice because they're succulents and aloe vera has 'uses'. Mostly, they're ignored 99% of the time and up looking like those. The ones in the ground on the other side of the lemon bush are doing just fine. 

Anyway, will see what happens the next few days.
