Merry Christmas from A Gardener's Notebook

My Nandina will have to stand in for holly this year, as it has in the past. It is a true Southern California Christmas this year, with the windows open, drawing in 70 degree breezes. Of course, such good weather makes me want to get out into the garden.

Mainly cleanup work this time of year...raking leaves, repairing fences and beds and a bit of tree pruning.

May your Christmas be bright and filled with visions of beautiful gardens!
