Yesterday while I was walking the dogs I noticed our new lemon tree is blooming again, and was covered with butterflies, which usually don't arrive this early. I'm in awe of the tree, too. It survived three nights of hard freezes before putting out new buds, and there's still two generations of fruit ripening on its branches.
Our new venture in celery is going well.
I'd say we'll be able to harvest some of these by February, which is nice, because I use a lot of celery in cooking and like everything else it's getting expensive at the market.
Our slightly battered bell pepper is also hanging in there. Green bell peppers are $2.49 each at my market, so I'll save five bucks when I pick the two on this plant.
We're still growing and enjoying fresh radishes every week, but I'll have to soon harvest the last of the cosmic carrots. Time to make some veggie soup!
