But the planting calendar for the low desert says it's time to start our seeds.
I didn't even have time to order seeds! So I pawed through the seed box, and picked a few varieties. Hope they work. Some are almost 3 years old.
We moved into this house in June, so the "garden" is still just an idea for a section of the backyard. In reality, it's hard pan clay, topped with decomposed granite, and laced with old wiring and irrigation lines.
Here's a pic I took when we first moved in. Now, the grass is looking really good. We cut up that fallen ficus for firewood, and pulled up those scraggle rosemary shrubs. The garden will go outside that kidney shaped brick border, mostly long the block wall, and where the rosemary was.

Baby stepping toward the big plan:
