February in my garden

[David F]

Some plants currently in bloom in my garden, and as the days are getting longer, even with all the rains, I’m noticing a few container plants are starting to need hand watering again. Winter is a nice break from having to irrigate, but I also like the end of the colder nights.

Very nice. Especially the Alcanteria. It's already feeling spring in the bay area. We made it to the 22C range yesterday.
