The down side to living in the wonderful San Diego climate is that there really is zero down time for the vegetable gardener. Vegetable gardeners in other parts of the country may watch while the landscape disappears beneath a layer of snow, but that doesn't apply in this climate. No sitting by the fireside on a snowy evening perusing the stack of seed catalogs to pick out which tomatoes to plant on Memorial Day weekend for the San Diego vegetable gardener.
Cindy just pulled out the last of the tomato vines recently and harvested the remaining eggplants and peppers, but that left empty raised beds, so of course she then began preparing them for ...more vegetables. The first thing she did was add more compost to the beds and check the irrigation system.

Then she planted the seeds for beets in one of the beds.

And started seeds for the cauliflower, broccoli, brussel sprouts and Swiss Chard in the mini greenhouse.
Then she called the chiropractor because her back hurt. I can't imagine why.
