Such organized planting. I just pop plants and seeds in every little nook and cranny! lol.

Thank you, it is a little dish meant for soy sauce/wasabi for sushi. We have a small market nearby that sells products/food from Japan and Hawaii. So much interesting stuff! This is from their dishwater section where they have beautiful and unusual ceramic ware.

I got the Kale sign ( and many others on Etsy). Do a search under metal garden signs and I am sure you will find them. You can get any veg or fruit and even custom sign's. I have one that says, 'Lydia's Garden'.

Harvested my 1 little peanut plant. First time growing! Might just have enough for a tablespoon of peanut butter... 🥜❤️ 🌱

9:30 am video panorama of the garden ( sound up for birdsong). Lots of bare areas newly seeded with radish, lettuce mix, spinach, snap peas and beets. And of course, my faithful assistant , Cowboy. ❤️ 🌱

My "Fall/Winter" tomato experiment is setting fruit! Zone 10b/Coastal SoCal. Pictured: Sub-Arctic Plenty and Silvery Fir Tree. The rest : Oregon Spring, Siberia, Manitoba and New Yorker are flowering so I am hoping for fruit-set soon! Interesting note: Zero signs of blight. 🌱🍅🍅🍅🍅

I know... it happens. I was fairly absent in the garden this Summer (except for tomatoes 🍅 . But, for some reason, Fall/Winter here in my coastal zone 10b garden in So Cal is my favorite time to garden! Start small with a few starter plants... it will get you motivated to do more. ❤️

Me too... munched on some while I was out there!

Spent 3 hours just enjoying my garden today... planting seeds in bare areas, pulling tiny weeds, watering, watching the many busy ants, beatles and spiders scurry around. I'm blessed to have this little piece of paradise in my back yard. 🌱

Sage says that since lions are the "King of the beasts" and cats are really just small lions after all...that by definition he is the King of our castle. And furthermore, while there definitely are NO KINGS in our government that the same does not apply to our home. #catpic #catsofbluesky #nokings
