Produce Envy

I visited Sarah and found several tomato plants covered with fruit and blossoms. On her table was a pile of tomatoes that she had picked. How unfair is that? My tomato plants shriveled up and died in October. I just pulled out my basil a few days ago because all of the leaves had shriveled up and blown away in the last storm. And her garden is a summer paradise, still.



Her pepper plants are even still thriving.

In Sarah's garage was this bin full of narcissus bulbs ready to plant. Her father doesn't know it yet, but that's going to be his project when her parents come to visit soon.

I'm feeling so inadequate. I like living in Santa Clarita, but it's so much colder than the Valley. At least that's going to be my excuse for my sad garden until I can think of a better one.
