April 9, 2018 It’s Them or Us!

“Spring is here, and sprouting seeds are not the only living things stirring the warm, moist soil of California gardens.  The gophers are stirring down there, too.” 
–  Maria Gaura

Dear Friends,
     Spring time in San Diego brings many marvelous developments in the gardens but the one that always has us reeling is the explosion of gophers merrily scraping their maze of tunnels under our crops.  Of course, with so much of our neighborhood overlaid with houses, the natural inhabitants look for the safest and most bountiful food supply and guess where that is?  The farm of course. The one thing that has me a little concerned this season though, is the bees.  Usually they are swarming all over our flowers (which is why it’s important we grow them) and we’re just not seeing them (the bumblebees that used to be prolific are now few and far between) in their ‘normal’ numbers.  It’s quite sad when I think back in years of the myriad of species that were here when I started…they’re long gone.  Think I’ll go smell the lilies and try not to think about it.
     If anyone knows how we can post our videos and not have them continue into others, we’d be most appreciative.
 Here’s to good food, friends, families and helping others.
     Call or email me if you have questions or need cooking tips.
     May our food this week nourish, comfort and sustain you.
