Hoping we actually eat the chard this year, and that we have enough tomatoes to make and can our own spaghetti sauce.
Also hoping I get one blueberry before Melese consumes them all.
What are you planting?
(If it isn't snowy where you are, and please don't hate because it is 70 degrees today. The traffic is terrible and everyone is an actor).

I'm thinking I could deal with the traffic and the actors for 70 degrees.
ReplyDeleteI love chard! Blueberries!!!
When we plant it will be all the lazy stuff in containers on our patio.
No, no you couldn't, K. Well, maybe, with frequent visits to Julie you could.
DeleteThe only part that p's me off is the hat. Make him take it off until the mercury dips below 40.
ReplyDeleteAnyway? What am I planting? My ass on the couch. Til May.
omg totally! And you're gonna plant in May? What, livin' on the edge?
DeleteHonestly, we haven't even had winter yet.
ReplyDeleteQ's school does the same spelling thing - it's hard for me not to jump in but I don't:) Seems to be working. Quinn knows what prosthelytizing means.
Beautiful garden and people in it.

ReplyDeleteWe are thinking of buying dwarf lemon and orange trees for our San Francisco balcony. I'm not sure that counts as planting, but it's the best we can do for now.
ReplyDeleteWe were gloating as we left Kansas City to move cross country that we were opting out of winter, and now they've barely had winter weather there. Now we just joke that we moved for nothing.
70 degrees? Ah man, I can't not hate on that, no matter how bad traffic and actors are.
ReplyDeleteCannot wait til MAY to plant tomatoes, cucumbers and squash.
i heart your garden. our poor little patio gets no sun and somehow a lot of wind so everything except succulents die. so sad. looking forward to your garden tours :-)
ReplyDeleteWe're not anywhere near being ready to plant yet, but I hope along with you that we will eat more of our chard this year. Have a couple new recipes that I'm hoping the fam will like better.
ReplyDeleteHaving lived in So.CA and other parts of the country, I still do miss the sunshine, the beach and the mountains. The traffic (and paying for parking everywhere), not so much.
Yes! The parking! This morning we paid more to park at the doctor's office than our actual co-pay! We need a good chard recipe too.
Deletedoes chard cook like kale? my mil cooked some awesome scrambled eggs with chard last weekend. she slowly sauteed the kale with onion, agave nectar (to cut the bitterness) and i think there may have been one other thing (as in butter or oil...i am a recipe girl can't wing it can you tell). anyway she sauteed it for 30 minutes, chilled it overnight then used it in the scrambled eggs...so good!
