Fall is my favorite season. I will be sad to see it end on the winter solstice, December 21. Because we live in Southern California, we are blessed to be able to garden all year round. So, even though we will be heading into winter soon, the garden is still flourishing.
Our Meyer Lemons are ripening up and a few should be ready to be plucked in a few days. I'm thinking that lemon shortbread cookies would be the a nice choice to use them in. And, the arugula has been growing like crazy. I will need to harvest some soon. There is even a good chance that a couple of radishes will be ready as well.
Tomorrow is supposed to bring some more and much needed rain to our drought stricken city. The garden will be grateful.
Oh, and I'm grateful, that for the moment, the squirrels have stopped digging in the lettuce bed.
