Harvesting Water Through Rain Barrels

It's a rainy week in Los Angeles and all four huge rain barrels around the house are filled up.  It should be enough to water our edible garden for two to three months.

Sugar Snap Peas and Watermelon Radish

It was a rainy day in Los Angeles yesterday. As soon as the rain stopped, I went to the garden to pick some vegetables - sugar snap peas, watermelon radish, romaine lettuce and strawberry. 

Edible Garden in January

We are so blessed we can garden year-round in this part of the country. Here’s a peek at what we are growing in our edible garden in mid-January.

Edible Gardening in Los Angeles

We grow more than 100 varieties of edible plants in our backyard.

Bok Choy Flowers

These are a bok choy that have bolted.

When soil gets warm, plants tend to bolt... they send flower stalks and focus all their energy in producing seeds. It’s a survival mode to make sure they produce the next generation through their seeds. And once plants start to bolt, they stop producing foliage.

When our plants bolt, we don’t usually uproot them. We leave them a little longer because bees love them.
