I picked some of the snow peas from the second planting. It's getting warm, and the peas must soon be replaced by beans. I should have done one huge planting of peas last fall, as this second spring planting was delayed by something (slugs?, birds?) nibbling the emerging growth. Now it's too warm for them to bear well.

Six serreno pepper plants are going in Monday, as soon as I pick the last of the broccoli. The broccoli did very well this year. I found four seeds left in the packet feom 2012, and all four gerrminated and grew into nice plants.

Once I clear the broccoli and transplant the peppers I want to plant two short rows of bush beans, and then harvest the dried seed peas from the fall planting. Once that spot is clear, I'll get the soil ready for my eggplant starters.

I've been watching the lemon tree, and at first it wasn't flowering heavily, but just now I see hundreds of additional flower buds forming.

The new plum trees are doing well. One has been flowering, and the other came from the store with a few little plums already on it.

The avocado tree is sprouting lots of new leaves, and I hope the rainwater I saved for irrigation is the key to success.

The tomato plants I put in a week ago have already doubled in size.
