To our gardens we go!!

As many of you know, I have a four season garden. Here are some late winter photos of my garden, with much already in bloom!<br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRo1iVs0GoS1-PUsSX5Jb1pw3mDtzfXjQaLMV-nbFnMgYhBnHuprDCMmtIEnQJvm9TA8-PvnhHLsdAkF72h9xsQRdQAKHUWQeKC5c3d2zEpA0iHfKqgx3fQmzbZyLwr8y9YD9XLH2hvuEdm_e2jT97Ju0bRRvla3QGg_n7q71V5vRHl2FkNGV8FuXd89g/s6000/Garden%209-9-24%20031.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="6000" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRo1iVs0GoS1-PUsSX5Jb1pw3mDtzfXjQaLMV-nbFnMgYhBnHuprDCMmtIEnQJvm9TA8-PvnhHLsdAkF72h9xsQRdQAKHUWQeKC5c3d2zEpA0iHfKqgx3fQmzbZyLwr8y9YD9XLH2hvuEdm_e2jT97Ju0bRRvla3QGg_n7q71V5vRHl2FkNGV8FuXd89g/s320/Garden%209-9-24%20031.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><p></p><p>Plectranthus 'Troy's Gold'.

The short answer is that we had the house and studios on our property painted this summer and the prep and follow up loss of plants meant there wasn't much of anything to photograph. The garden is slowly recovering and this week i decided to take my first batch of photos in some time. So, here they are, not a complete 'survey' of my garden but a few nice things to share on a mid-November day.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYep-7qCmsVIab730f68Koy1qKTpGtHkG_aFdY5g10eryJhJYoGQCxBaIlJlVeIEQ7o0ouJTAngM3mobMVlOz1KYk1kqRiU5GDZNxWMjoOtqw2EDwgkKgd5bdkI62fso3kSBROjs-kVBSmUtdDYZ886tYgYFmC8MXg61Ai4h7eRkFECtGTaC6WQhY_/s6000/Garden%2011-14-22%20001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="6000" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYep-7qCmsVIab730f68Koy1qKTpGtHkG_aFdY5g10eryJhJYoGQCxBaIlJlVeIEQ7o0ouJTAngM3mobMVlOz1KYk1kqRiU5GDZNxWMjoOtqw2EDwgkKgd5bdkI62fso3kSBROjs-kVBSmUtdDYZ886tYgYFmC8MXg61Ai4h7eRkFECtGTaC6WQhY_/s320/Garden%2011-14-22%20001.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><p></p><p>Begonia variety.

I try to appreciate each one of them, even as I know how badly we need the rain for our drought-parched state. I water as little as I can while still maintaining the health of my garden. I've covered how to make the maximum use of water in the garden before so won't repeat myself. So, at the risk of offering more of the same, here are more photos of my garden. The stars are still the lilies but there is much else in bloom.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7W9mio7IGozbR9RDvF1FwLZOdzLpYKcIEIDd0yzVTT4UvOv9Mhdhg5MYbSUDlQlopqqBiYAyLOLZB8NDduRyZBm41V7FvUtP6zp_PABn1M0hbCWXUb-v353jGt3QknkcQBMwAIWJpQFWqwgfHvycCcv1TzPGtXYBEN_3hyEV-N4T2i15t0COuAMJC/s6000/Garden%207-12-22%20001.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="6000" data-original-width="4000" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7W9mio7IGozbR9RDvF1FwLZOdzLpYKcIEIDd0yzVTT4UvOv9Mhdhg5MYbSUDlQlopqqBiYAyLOLZB8NDduRyZBm41V7FvUtP6zp_PABn1M0hbCWXUb-v353jGt3QknkcQBMwAIWJpQFWqwgfHvycCcv1TzPGtXYBEN_3hyEV-N4T2i15t0COuAMJC/s320/Garden%207-12-22%20001.JPG" width="213" /></a></div><p></p><p>Lily Beijing Moon.

They offer a good sampling of my Oakland winter garden.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjxqkO5CTFVOpKcCfkQkY1Z1ITgYDcFqiTYGHZDSGgy-6-qBQg7m9-DGf6o7GRhTQMTHssrwUJXNF8iuGcIp4Q3-c_rYXc4T57_PZ4q48XT0depJwdY09AB-Cd-jMlVpQJ7zVKsFPIX_a6IrCwIEzQslciRQKGrnqme_8E4Cs0Jp4L9ZPVx5mcz_2mW=s6000" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="6000" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjxqkO5CTFVOpKcCfkQkY1Z1ITgYDcFqiTYGHZDSGgy-6-qBQg7m9-DGf6o7GRhTQMTHssrwUJXNF8iuGcIp4Q3-c_rYXc4T57_PZ4q48XT0depJwdY09AB-Cd-jMlVpQJ7zVKsFPIX_a6IrCwIEzQslciRQKGrnqme_8E4Cs0Jp4L9ZPVx5mcz_2mW=s320" width="320" /></a></div><p></p><p>Erysimum Poem Mirabelle.
