fanfan is a serious gardener, too.

We still have only arugula, Dragonbaby’s favorite food.

I’m a noob at gardening in a temperate climate. fanfan has experience and is forging new paths with her winter gardening experiments. Arugula sounds good. I haven’t been successful with genus allium or potatoes. In the desert, I couldn’t grow lettuce. I’m taking the chill off some watermelon sorbet from last summer, but we’re concentrating on canteloupes this year because that’s what friends and neighbors seem to enjoy most. JustaDumbBlonde recommended the Excalibur dehydrator and we dried canteloupe chips which are ambrosial! Dehydrated pear chips are delicious alone or in oatmeal. One of our neighbors has a pear tree that he thinks is about a hundred years old and it still produces. Who knew? Astonishment is a daily event around here. (Thank You, Creator!) :)

Lol, I wish I was a serious gardener, but I’m happy to share what little I know.

We are expecting 20 cm of snow in the next 24 hrs. It’s not spring until Wednesday, right?
