Springtime in Long Beach, California

Back yard harvest

A daily harvest from last summers garden.

I'm in the process of renewing and replanting for the spring. This weekend I have to start some purple Italian artichokes and black cherry tomatoes from seed. Tomatomania is coming up so I'll get seedlings there, but I saw these seeds from the same place I ordered the artichoke and they sounded so delicious I had to get them!

I have garlic chives and regular ones coming up, I just bought 2 new mint plants - English and lime. Believe it or not, I almost killed my spearmint! The pot I planted it in didn't have a hole. But now that I've put one in, I think it's coming back.

I have hopes for at least a couple Blenheim apricots this summer. The tree has quite a few blossoms. The little fig tree and the grape vines are sending out shoots, and I need to plant the blood orange tree.
