After another heavy storm that’s always welcomed here in the Central Valley of California. The Sun was a welcome sight as nature has it all balanced. There is always a vibrant reaction from the plant life and even summer plants still trying to produce in December.

The moments when you can see
Most of the time you’re jus working and grinding with you goals in mind. But the truth is you’re a part of the beauty and have to realize how magnificent every aspect of nature truly is.

Our Okra, Eggplant, and Pepper Bounty.
“The garden gave us its best this morning. Can’t wait to start cooking with these fresh beauties!”

“Our full haul of Okra, Thai Eggplant, Long Beans, and spicy peppers.” -
Water Spinach
Beautiful water spinach in the morning. It goes by so many other names. Pak Boon is what they call it in Thailand and it’s got more names. But anyway, can you grow water spinach in the desert and here in Bakersfield? I guess you can. That water spinach (a.k.a. Pak Boon, Kang Kong, Rau Muống) looks lush, vigorous, and completely at home in Bakersfield’s heat.

Never doubt Nature
Is this nature doing what it is capable of doing. A thriving Turnip plant in 100 plus weather. Maybe next year I plant them until April.

Progress not perfection. I’m halfway there amending each grow bag for summer planting as the window is just about closed.
