HOW LONG IS OUR GROWING SEASON???

We really can grow things in Santa Clara...and for a very long growing season, too!!

With lots of help, we pulled a couple of beds of squash that had seen it's last days of production, cleaned out a LOT of weeds from beds and walkways...and we planted 1-1/2 beds of beets, (our carrot bed is sprouting new carrots that were planted a couple of weeks ago!), we planted a small second planting of green beans in the back tomato bed thanks to Alice Steel and several of her grandchildren!, we planted potatoes in the recently-cleaned-out cucumber bed, we planted broccoli and cauliflower beds, AND we planted some lettuce in the almost-empty onion bed!

What a great place to live!!  An amazing growing season, and WONDERFUL people to work with in the garden!!  What could be better???  Wellllll, maybe if there was an ocean on the other side of Ivins....

Enjoy the pictures!!
