Zucchini Bread

This zucchini is bigger than my cat.

My garden gnome Gustoff has been working overtime.  Last night I went to water my garden and discovered my baby zucchinis had grown into giants over the weekend.  The only words I could manage to get out before I fell into a fit of laughter were “OH MY GOD”!  I suspect someone has been adding steroids to the hose water!

"Winter" Gardening

Working in the garden

Winter gardening in Southern California feels like cheating.  You don't have to worry about frost or freezing temperatures.  You also don’t have to worry about frostbite or snow boots or heavy coats.  I love complaining about how cold it is when it’s 65 degrees outside.  After surviving four winters in Boston during college, I feel like I’ve earned the right to whine.

Beets, Gnomes and Life

Gustoff

After a rough year, I'm starting fresh, and so is my blog.  Due to unforeseen circumstances, my blog archives have vanished, but I've learned that when you're starting fresh, you can't sweat the little stuff... so I'm just going to pick up where I left off.
