Happy Holidays, California Gardeners

14 years ago

What spectacular weather we have had for the past few days in Southern California. I hope all of you both North and South are enjoying the season.

I'm about to curl up with the Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Catalog and take a look at the Blue J Iris website (my dad's girlfriend gave me a blank order form from Blue J for Christmas, gasp!). Wishing you all a healthy and happy new year.

The weather is good considering other places, but I am still cold :-( Don't you just love it when you get those great gift certificates to buy more plants! Have fun shopping for new seeds/plant/bulbs, etc.

Thank you and the same to you, Renee!
I hope you have a wonderful gardening season ahead of you - (starting right now I guess, since you are So Cal.) I think you are very cleverly funny so please be sure to keep on making me laugh this bright new year.

I hope everyone had great holidays and a good start to the new year! I drove around northern California and loaded up on plants, and apparently the flu, hah, so now I need to get better so I can plant everything. All the best Connie and everyone. Happy gardening!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all! I really love to see these types of examples of what is right with our world. Yesterday, a local family's home burned leaving a family of 5 displaced with no belongings. Before the family was finished talking to the fire department, volunteers were arriving with clothing, new Christmas presents for the kids, food and an offer to let the family use a travel trailer as temporary housing.

Happy New Year backatcha. Lets hope 2010 is way better than 09.

I started pruning my roses today. Hopefully I'll be done by February. The big climbers take 2 or 3 days each.

hoovb your description of pruning your climbers reminded me of my friend who though retired, prunes roses for extra income. When I asked how much he charges for climbers he immediately said $500 each. When I asked if people would pay that much, he just smiled and said, no. Al

I think January is one of the nicest months in So. CA. We've got a few bushes pruned with a few dozen to go.
