The 2024 Garden Year
January 19, 2024 January Our year started with snow, ice and frigid temperatures in mid-January. Our temperatures stayed below freezing for almost a week. I think it was the most consistent cold that we've experienced since moving here. Fortunately, it was a dry snow so there wasn't too much damage. Once again, we almost lost the azara and I'm afraid there would have been some breakage if I had not kept knocking the ice off. February 14, 2024 February In past years, it seems that inclement weather seems to hit around Michael's birthday in mid-February. After the January snow and ice, this month was actually quite tame. Nothing exciting to report - mostly birdwatching . Early flowers like hellebores, cyclamen and crocus begin to bloom in mid month. March 3, 2024 March I got into a walking routine which I'm happy to report I am continuing this year. You get to the point where you feel guilty if you miss a day. I do miss days occasionally but I'm learning that ...
This was always my favorite growing up. We'd put it in a bread bowl using good San Francisco sourdough. Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteI make this dip too, and it is sooo good. I like to put it in a bowl of bread.
ReplyDeleteOur spinach crop has continued even with the 20degree nights we have had. Now I know what we can do with some of the harvest!
ReplyDeleteYummy...It's important to have a few excellent dip recipes to serve visitors and residents on cold wintry days! gail
ReplyDeleteI so love that stuff. I've never made it but have eaten PLENTY!
ReplyDeleteHope you are having fun! I just took a picture of a red bird in the snow and it made me think of you.
