January in Review

Pots of mini daffodils starting to come up in January

I used to say that even though you could find things that bloom all winter here in California, you should take a break. But now that Don and I are growing cut flowers, we have to plan and plant ahead of time, and that made for a busy January! Unfortunately that work wasn't photogenic, so this post will have pictures of things that will bloom later, in spring and summer.
