The Blue Honeywort (Cerinthe major var. purpurascens) should have died back after the frosts a couple weeks ago, but it seems to have sprung some new growth.
It's also sprung some new offspring. I thought I grabbed all the seeds off this plant, but clearly I missed some. I first saw this stuff on a garden tour in Livermore, and the woman who owned it said it spread like weeds. I had my doubts because the first few times I tried to grow it, it didn't take, but now I see what she's talking about.
I'll have to try to transplant these guys in the ground before the gardeners my landlord pays for mistake them for weeds and wack them down.
There's even one growing out of my Puya Alpestris.
I got the fava beans in a couple weeks ago. Which is a bit late (I read somewhere recently that you should plant your winter cover crops by Halloween in Northern CA), but they are starting to take off anyway... there's no sign of the garbanzo beans I planted at the same time.

| our kill for 2010 |
Every year the women in our group of friends goes Christmas Tree Hunting. We start with a big breakfast at a greasy or not so greasy diner, and follow that with some wine tasting, and then a hunt for the best tree from our favorite tree farm where the trees aren't perfectly trimmed and lined into rows, but allowed to grow every which way and every type of tree is grown.
