More Amaryllis and Methi

There was non-stop rain in Southern CA for 6 days last week which is very unusual. It was referred as the storm of the decade. I was worried about my Amaryllis bulbs because if they sit in too much water, they will rot. So far out of 10 bulbs, 5 have sprouted. Hoping that the rest will grow soon.

My methi plants are growing well, I will be harvesting soon.



'Neon Rose' Amaryllis: This is in a pot.










Exotic Star Amaryllis: This one is in the ground, I wanted to experiment how it fares in the ground.

Happy Holidays!

Wishing you all a safe and joyous holiday season!!!

First Amaryllis in bloom!

I am excited to report that my first Amaryllis bloomed a couple of days ago. More to follow soon. The variety is called Pasadena. Look at the scarlet red blooms with white flashes on each petal, Isn't it beautiful?

End of November report

I am glad to report that the tasks listed on my previous post have been completed. We had been to Yosemite for Thanksgiving and it was stunning. What a beautiful place! On the garden front, my amaryllis continue to grow, my methi is looking good, my swiss chard looks okay. It's been very cold here since last week, also rained a few times. My new experiment is to grow garlic. I planted a few cloves and they have sprouted. Will have to see how they do.

I hope you all had a good thanksgiving!
