Re: Hola

Glad to hear you are adjusting and sounds like another kind of gardening adventure is starting for you.

  Everything's cool with the time, Judy; I seem to have adjusted to time 
zone changes with minimum trouble. And to the temperature changes, 
also. Like an idiot, however, I didn't accessibly pack any shoes or 
socks, so when I got here all I had was sandals. But even that wasn't 
too bad; I didn't freeze.

For the garden, my sister has started a number of vegetables that are 
now up--peas, potatoes, lettuce, spinach, and such. She has them 
growing in raised beds and barrels/tubs. She wants to build some more 
raised beds for vegetables, so that's probably what we'll do next. 
Both the apricot and cherry trees have set fruit--the cherry is still 
blooming, but fading. There is a long empty bed along one side of the 
house that we've talked about as an ideal area for blueberries, 
gooseberries, and currents--so you can see that edible landscaping is 
much on our agenda. She also wants to spot parsley and other herbs in 
the flower beds.

Among the non-edibles, the ceanothus and rhododendrons are loaded with 
buds; the tulips, daffodils, and muscari are almost spent. We plan to 
move the Meyer lemon out of the greenhouse tomorrow, but we plucked 
one of the lemons off it for our grilled salmon a couple of days ago.
