This is my garden...

Spring is coming and I am so happy to see my garden flourish in Southern California. My garden is located in a community garden called Ocean View Farms.  Please vote for our garden at http://www.deloachcommunitygardens.com/. We also love Solano Gardens as well!

Do you see my cauliflower? I had already harvested a few heads. I am letting this one go just for all the insects out there. It has been unseasonably warm in Los Angeles the past few weeks. All the winter crops are confused.

This is the front of our plot. Right now I have an abundance of swiss chard in a rainbow of colors. The lettuce is looking lush and full. I also have brussel sprouts taking their sweet time just barely showing anything. In the front, I planted pineapple sage, lipstick sage, rosemary, and other drought tolerant plants. They seem to love that section of the garden. The horse manure mulch keeps the soil moist and fertilized. The smell is great too.
The gopher deterring plant seems to be working.
I recently planted carrots seeds. The snow peas were pulled out.

This is one of my favorites. Since I want to take it with me if I have to relocate myself, the plant is in a black nursery pot. Can you guess what it is? The lavender plant behind it is not helping right? Well, it is a blueberry plant. I enrich the soil with acidic fertilizer and use my coffee grinds to make the soil just so perfect for this heavy fruiting blueberry bush. I have buckwheat growing next to it as well. The other blueberry bush is quite young so it is not as productive as this one.
