I found myself quite cross in the garden this week as I schlepped the hose around the yard in weather reaching the high 60s. Our Sacramento "winter" has been a total joke so far and I lamented that the sole benefit of winter gardening--free water from Mother Nature--was eluding me. Bah. At least my plants seem to be hanging in there so far!

The kale is hearty as if it knows I don't want to eat it and is doing its best to thrive in hostile conditions and taunt me. |

Something about the flowers reminds me of a Disney movie. Fantasia maybe? |

The nasturtiums don't seem to enjoy the hard frost very much. |
