   What are you planting in your garden this year?
   
   I've got lots of seeds left over from last year. I have several types of tomato to choose from, peas, greens, peppers, cucumbers, watermelons, squash. Just wondered what others were planting.

   Most of what you are planting, plus, I love fresh herbs. I am growing 6 kinds of basil, parsley (flat and curly), chervil, dill, cilantro, chives, thyme, oregano, and sage. Onions, leeks, garlic, carrots and turnips and potatoes are already planted and thriving.

      Now that is some ambition. I need to step up my game. Good luck with your garden this season.

   We are adding all the things you are and then carrots, Kolaroby, rhubarb, tomatoes, we are adding more apple trees, blueberry bushes, honey berry, raspberries and choke cherries. In a couple more years we will have a full orchard. It's going to be our retirement plan. The green house is almost finished, it just needs plastic. I can hardly wait.

      Retirement plan? What a great idea. Do you have a hub on it?

   I have four kinds of tomatoes, two kinds of hot peppers, greens, cucumber, cantaloupe, peas and beans. We will also get plums in a couple of months, as well as blackberries. My herb garden and lemon tree produce all year round. We're so lucky here with the temperate climate!

   I harvested the first French radishes today. I've intensively planted cauliflower, broccoli, beetroot, cabbage, red onions and lettuce in a small raised bed. The rhubarb is doing well in a mixed border and I have strawberries in pots - dug up the strawberry patch in the Autumn as it was taking up too much space. The raspberry canes had to go too - they were spreading alarmingly in my small garden.

      I know I have the advantage in terms of growing many things, here in temperate California, but I must admit I am a little jealous that you can still grow cauliflower (my favorite!). Here, it bolts in the warm spring weather.

   I do not think that the gardening tips and landscaping  would give you too many answers when the problem is in weather, maybe just how to protect or cover, or extra water. But the fact is that you can not cope with nature. Anyway, so funny that you wrote about the micro-greens, because it is the only garden I can afford in my small apartment Everyone names me the flat gardener, but I like it. At least something natural, in comparison to the supermarket products (sometimes I have no idea what we eat).
