Winter is short in San Diego and has moved across the region this past two weeks. It still takes a little getting used to, knowing that to get a head start, you have to start pretty much in January out here. For us here at home with three days of rain, it was the perfect time to turn the soil and get things ready for the next planting season.
Also, with all the rains coming, it was a perfect time to get the rain collection barrels cleaned out for new filters.
Also the perfect time to take stock of our seed collection and consult the catalogs for this season's new orders. Potatoes are about ready to plop into the soil and perhaps some greens and onions for our long, hard winter in Southern California. (sorry folks in Michigan and Colorado, I couldn't help myself there).
You had a two- or three-week break from gardening, and now you're back at it? And, your winter rain came, right on schedule. Quite amazing. Enjoy!
