"June Gloom," as it's called, is persistent this year, the sun only burning through the marine layer in the afternoon - but yesterday the sun was shining in the morning and we'll soon be complaining about the oppressive heat. Our tomatoes could use some solar oppression.
Our home is surrounded by beautiful trees that keeps things shady, but impossible to grow certain flowers and vegetables. Still, Michael's nasturtiums pulled through, however.
And my birthday bugenvilia also bounced back, after moving everything from the shady backyard to the front.
These jasmine put out the most beautiful scent.
Things don't come alive here, as they do in Tacoma, in terms of flowering trees and plants. Maybe it's the year-round effect, rather than going gangbusters in spring; ie matter of perception. Oxnard is a strawberry producing region to our west, and vendors in pick-ups set-up roadside stands throughout our area, selling fruit, nuts, and many varieties of AVOCADO. The best thing about So Cal is the agriculture.
