A new year , a new garden for this Hufflepuff!

Well as you all know the weather here in LA has been amazing. We are expecting some rain this week ..hope it is a good one. I have taken steps to make this garden the best one ever. I have hired Hollis Jordan . Hollis is a home garden consultant , what I call a "Garden Whisperer" . She is without a doubt a genius when it comes to where , when , how and what to plant. She doesn't do the dirty work ( turning soil , planting ,weeding etc) ..actually as far as I am concerned that is the fun stuff.

She had me make note of where and when the sun shines the longest. Do I want raised beds ? Direct soil ? Etc. With my property she decided raised beds . Great call.



We spent two hours going to what we like to eat..how much do I want to plant ? How much time do we want to spend ? Seeds or seedlings ? We decided on our choices..I took my shopping list and she took her research list . We meet again next week. I think this is a super smart thing to do.

Lovin the post comic con harvest

Last night we made the best coleslaw ever from fresh cabbage from the garden .. And of course the now twice a week basket for the office

From the film ..Uncle Vernon "Best Day of the Week, Sunday,
Do you know why ?"
Harry "No post on Sundays ?"
Uncle Vernon: " Right you are Harry, Right you are"
And in that vein
SUNDAY'S F'ING ROCK

Had a great day..in a HP way

So it was decorating day for the garden . I hung these really cool lampshades by fishing wire off the big tree. They have very bright battery powered tap lights inside. And I strung up some really cool Edison like bulbs thru the orange tree. So here are some pics and of course more of the spaghetti squash and the grapes

The tomatoes are a tomatoing , the Spaghetti squash is a squashin and the peppers are peppy, the grapes are groovy and the dukes are climbing. There is nothing better then sitting in your backyard at sunset reveling in your accomplishments . And our course thank you to Bob for helping.
