Winter Garden In the San Joaquin Valley, January 28

[robby]

Meyer lemons, a cross between mandarin oranges and traditional lemons. I covered the tree during hard freezes to save the fruit.





Red onions in the foreground that will go to seed this year. The little spiky shoots in the background are hardneck garlic, started from a supermarket bulb a few years ago.



This is a nopales cactus also known as the prickly pear. I left the fruit I couldn't comfortably reach to the birds.



The snowpeas are beginning to flower, and now I'll plant 3 more rows.
