It's been a good start to the New Year, with plenty of much needed rain to Southern California, nourishing gardens, wetlands, and wildlife that have been parched for the past year. My citrus trees will enjoy a deep soak, as will all the trees in my neighborhood that rely on the rain alone (a gamble in this climate).When the rain passes, it will be time to clean out my vegetable garden and amend the soil in the raised beds to prepare for a crop of cool season veggies. I'm looking forward to fresh spinach, onions, squash, and carrots.
I'd like to say thanks to Country Almanac's Small Room Decorating magazine, which features my vegetable garden in the new issue (on stands now through the end of February), discussing how growing up (using a variety of supports) is a great way to maximize productivity in a small space garden.
For those who live in warmer zones, may your winter gardening be rewarding and successful. Let us know what you're growing in the comments below. For those in cooler climates, try growing herbs in the kitchen window, ordering organic seeds from your favorite catalogue for spring planting, or growing fresh sprouts in a jar (super healthy!). Happy 2008 to all.

Congratulations on being featured in the magazine! I'm going to try and find it next time I'm out so I can check it out. :-)
Thansk Kylee! It's a good issue.
