Fence falling down

Reed fence - to be replaced.

Hand made. Here's the construction technique of the old one - close up.

Wood make a good desktop background

No, that was not a spelling mistake

Pimientos verdes / Green peppers

Growing off of last fall's plants - but now it's January.

Lechuga / Lettuce

Pick as it grows

Not bad for January.

Animal rescue

Rescued a lizard from the 30000 liter rainwater harvesting tank

Don't know what sort he was.

Pumpkin

That was last September

Canned capers (alcaparras)

This was done last July. They are now ready for consumption.

Hibiscus

The hibiscus blooms in July

Sunflowers

Some sunflowers have multiple heads.

Burst caper fruit

The caper bush produces

1. buds (to make little capers with)
2. flowers
3. fruits (that can also be pickled)
4. seeds - as seen below

Sunflower

The first sunflower this season is about a meter tall. A child of last year's - which looked like this.

Parsnip

A big parsnip

Ajo / Garlic

Lifted the garlic last year on July 5th.  Should have been June 21 - - as the rule is "plant on shortest day", "harvest on longest day".

Raised Bed

Built another raised bed in the garden.   This one is agave poles and topped off with found lumber.

Pruning Almonds

In the fields yesterday. Assorted tapas for lunch; taking a break from pruning the almonds.
