Here we are, coming up on Thanksgiving week, and the weather is just gorgeous on a Sunday such as this. In Los Angeles, we ARE spoiled. I will admit it. We revert to whining about such trivial things like tight parking spaces and growing lines at the local coffee shop. We forget how the rest of the country deals with the paralyses that come with winter, such as snowed in car parks, unpredictable precipitation, dangerous driving conditions, and so on. Everything of course is relative. You can ask any Angeleno gardener if we too are subject to labile weather that influences planting and growing potential. And he might say, yes, absolutely. But on a day as fair as this, so crisp, just following a nice mild rainfall, it feels like a perfect time to finally sow in some winter seeds!
Here are 3 varieties of leafy green seeds I picked up at the local nursery:
Thinking of freshly grown leafies this season sure makes me smile. Much of this success of course, depends on your soil. Good soil is only after all, enhanced by good compost, and good compost, as we know, is the product of homegrown commitment! In the meantime, I got myself a couple hefty bags of organic potting soil. Um....well, let's just say that when I finally grow the patience required with producing my own compost, it will be a game changer :)
