I live in a home with a pretty small back yard. While it is sufficient for our needs, I did manage to take away all of my grass and planting areas by putting a pool in 15 years ago or so. Now I do love my pool but I also would love to have more room for flowers, plants and even a few veggies. The only place I have room for that now is by container gardening.
With the unseasonal temps we have been having here in California the past few weeks, spring planting has been more and more on my mind. I am nervous about putting too much out as I figure we can still have a temperature crash and get some frost. But now is the perfect time to start planning and even prepping the soil and pots!

Summer is coming to an end which means harvest is in full swing around here. Both of our gardens did extremely well and we are still getting a lot of goodies from the garden which I have been cooking up, freezing and/or canning for winter.
Right now we have an abundance of tomatoes, bell peppers, zucchini, squash, red beets and a few other things. Plus, we have been picking apples from our apple tree for the past two weeks & canning homemade applesauce and apple butter.
The sunflowers will be ready in a few weeks and hubby loves roasted & toasted sunflower seeds. Do you like munching on them?
