My new playroom has a new light (not shown) and new closet shelves already packed (also not shown). I like it.

It’s warm again. Really warm. Maybe 80 degrees or more.
The tomato tree is still going full speed ahead. The green zebras are ripening but there aren’t as many of them as there are red ones. The red ones are literally exploding on the vine. We’ve been eating them with garlic and mozzarella and basil drizzled with balsamic vinegar. Noreen who got a bag full the other day said she put them in the broiler with shredded mozzarella on top. Yum!

It looks like spring. There are seedlings coming up everywhere and grass growing on the hillside Monk garden. I don’t know know when I’ll get to that.

I planted well over a hundred tulip bulbs on Saturday and maybe half as many daffodils. The soil looks beautiful writhing with worms and there are bulbs peeping through already. Daffodils I think but they could be those little snowbells.
I also planted about a dozen collard green seedlings I picked up in Morro Bay. They look kind of spindly and sad but I have high hopes.

The terrariums are a new obsession.

We had our first storm of the season about two weeks ago. The garden loved it! As did I. So the time has come to start my planting and let mother nature take it’s course. I started with this beautiful fuschia the monk gave us years ago that’s been living in a clay pot rather unenthusiastically. I’m guessing this spot is way more exciting especially with all the australian violet I planted surrounding it. The lady at the nursery said it was blue star creeper but when I got it home and out of the flat the marker fell out and confirmed that it is indeed australian violet and that it does prefer shade which it will get plenty of.

I will have to start planting the hill side soon as well when the rains start in earnest. It’s an El Nino year so we should get nice and soaked.
It’s bulb planting time also and I bought two huge bags of tulips and one of daffodils and I’m sticking them in the ground this weekend.

It’s currently 85 degrees!
