Gifts of Winter

January 3, 2011 by

Winter has brought about a fresh selection of produce in the garden.  We now have oranges, tangerines, lemons, bears limes, grapefruit, and surprisingly the woody herbs – mainly sages – are flourishing in pots on the back steps. The Pineapple Sage (Salvia elegans) in particular is beautiful with its scarlet flowers.  It appears that the lavender that seemed to die out in the heat last summer has actually survived and is beginning to send up some green shoots also!
