We enjoyed temperatures ten degrees warmer than us

We enjoyed temperatures ten degrees warmer than usual today while working in the garden. We had a high of 71° F/22°C today. It certainly doesn't feel like January!

I've been checking the mail every day to see if my catalog has arrived with this year's new roses featured in it before I place my order this year.

We've made a few more changes to the garden plans

We've made a few more changes to the garden plans that I shared earlier on the blog. One of those changes is that we will now have four almond trees instead of six. Instead, I am adding a couple more citrus trees into the landscape.

These are on sale today so I picked them up at my local nursery @starnurserylv

I've been shopping at this nursery on Ann Road for 20 years now. I know where everything is and they have wonderful prices. I mentioned before on my blog how great Jeremy, the manager, is too; I really admire his work ethic and he always says hi to me.

When I want a peaceful place to go, I go to the nursery, and every year from January to April I'm there almost weekly as I buy new plants for my garden.

It will take a few years, but then we will break even on our garden renovation in water savings and increased fruit and vegetable production.

Today I bought a Dancy Mandarin, a Bears Lime, and 10 (5 pictured) flowering cabbages. I bought 2 more limes Friday and another Meyer lemon tree as well, because why not have even more lemonade?

My roses have been blooming again as they love the

My roses have been blooming again as they love the cooler temperatures. To keep them healthy, I need to prune them back this week to force them into a short dormancy. I'll cut them back heavily, strip off all remaining leaves, and spray them with Neem oil, which is an organic spray that fights off both disease and bugs.

Rose pruning with so many roses is a massive job in my garden. I'll need to start earlier next year in order to prune almost double the roses with all the ones I'm adding. January is always the busiest month in my garden.

The nasturtiums are blooming a bit early this year

The nasturtiums are blooming a bit early this year!

These self-seed readily in my garden. In a warmer climate they are a summer flower, but here they pop up in fall and grow until around April/May when it gets too hot for them.
