Gardening

One of my favorite things to do when we lived in the country was gardening. I grew everything from vegetables, to seasonings, to flowers for drying and arrangements. Growing your own vegetables has always been a money saver. Here in California we have 3 growing seasons. Right about now the winter crop would be coming up and flourishing nearly ready for harvest. You can grow all the cabbage family in this weather like kale, cabbage, bok choy, brussel sprouts, etc., plus the underground vegetables like carrots, onion, potatoes, etc. Also parsley isn't too unhappy with the cooler weather. This is the time of year when you can use the dehydrator on diced carrots, diced potatoes, diced onions and seasonings like parsley for those great soup mixes.
