ISTR there used to be a NG devoted to So. Calif gardening. I just did a sea rch under All Groups, but did not find. Anybody know/remember such a NG?
It gets awfully quiet on rec.gardens this time of year. Would be nice to s chmooze with gardeners just sowing their "winter" crops. Not that I don't love rec.gardens but..
So far I have snow peas racing up the vines. Radishes going gang busters. Which is interesting, because I have always had terrible luck with this ea siest, kindergarten-level veg! Trying broccoli again after many years. Al so Brussels sprouts. Green onions. Beets. Spinach. Lettuce. Dunno why I am sowing the latter; I never seem to use it. Prefer "chopped" salads. Oh well, can always give to neighbors.
Finished the yellow/gold peppers on the Home Depot vine. Didn't quite amor tise the $10.98 I paid for that planter, but whatthehell. However, next yea r, if I am spared, I will plant a thinner-skinned variety.
Thus endeth the lesson.
