Carrot Palooza in the garden today! What's for dinner? 👩‍🌾🥕🥕🥕🌱

The paths of my garden are this smooth river gravel. Amongst all the plain gray and beige stones are brilliant white quartz. I pick them out like jewels to top-dress my garden pots. Weird? Probably. But it soothes my soul.... 🌱

Aroma therapy in the garden. Sitting in the sun sniffing some mint and lemon balm leaves crushed up between my fingers... Ahhhhh! 🌱

The winter veg that remains is bolting and blooming (broccoli, radishes, arugula) and the bees are happy. I know I have to pull it all soon to make way for Spring crops but for now I am enjoying the buzzy party! 🐝 🌱

Nasturtiums come back from seed each year and are the first real flowers of the year in my garden. 🌱 🧡

The prettiest cabbage I ever grew! 🌱

Today is the 3-year anniversary of my mom's passing. Her favorite rose, Mr. Lincoln had this one big, fragrant bloom today. Thanks, Mom. 🌱🌹❤️

Buddy is giving off major 'Spring is on the way' vibes this morning! 🌱 🐱 #catpic #catsofbluesky

It is going to pour for 4 days straight beginning on Tuesday but right now my roses look pretty peppy for December! SoCal Zone 19b 🌱

Do you like my Christmas tree? Mom says we can't have shiny, hangy things on it because me (Cowboy) and my brother (Buddy) knock them off when we do our climbing game! #caturday #catsofbluesky #catpic

Better get to harvesting those sugar snap peas! 🌱

Let the festive begin...🌱

Here in SoCal zone 10b- Fall is just like Spring in reverse. Sunny and 65 degrees in the garden this morning. 🌱 ☀️

I spy some broccoli heads forming on these grown- from- seed Sibsey variety plants! 🌱

The required daily removal of faded flowers (deadheading) on my various pots of violas is one of my favorite fall/ winter morning tasks. Lets me feel accomplished without having to get dirty and can be done with a cup of coffee in hand! 🌱

The greenhouse is cozy warm this morning and Buddy likes it! 🌱 #catpic

I was surprised by the pink/ purple flower on this snap pea plant. Produces purple peas! 🌱

Cowboy's Caturday 'relax' has morphed into a 'conjure' to try and bring some sunshine to this cold and cloudy day. #caturday #catpic #catsofbluesky #catmagic
