Winter is approaching us, but you wouldn’t know it by looking at the garden. We have over 30 different varieties of vegetables growing right now! Fennel, red beets, swiss chard, daikon radish, radicchio, to name a few…

Part of the beauty of living in a subtropical climate is the ability to grow food all year. It can still freeze here at night so we fill the greenhouse with things like tomatoes, cucumber, passion fruit and other more delicate plants that can’t withstand the frost.

The temperate conditions, along with having super fertile black soil, makes for tasty, homegrown, fresh organic meals all year! I just take a stroll outside in the garden and see what looks ready to eat and that determines the menu for the day!
