The Dog Days of Winter
Winter? In Southern California? I know, what an oxymoron, but we did have 6 days straight of rain last weekend. It kept me out of the garden, for the most part.
Looking forward to better weather this weekend but gardening duties are light. I do have to mow my semi-dormant lawn...the bane of my gardening existence. I'd get rid of it if my local city's codes would let me but they don't.
At least at this time of the year, it barely grows so I only have to mow it about every 5 weeks. Gotta work on the dandelions and morning glory that keep popping up though.
In the meantime, enjoy the last flowering plant to bloom for the season. It's always last but not least, that nice begonia you see at the top of this post.
