4. Sounds great.

In S. Calif. my arugula and some of my lettuce is ready for picking. I pick a few leaves and put them in my salad. I also have parsley. My peas are up and looking good. I have volunteer Chinese greens, lots of beautiful chard left from last year and I planted the Chioggia beets.

I only have a tiny ground area and pots for planting.

I have some sort of dark red plant that might be a sort of mustard kind of green. It is sharp tasting. I like it in my salad. My husband does not.

I have tomato seedlings that have sprouted and are doing well.

I tried to plant spinach, but nothing has come up as far as I can tell.

Our avocados are in season. I have been told by "experts" that they don't need much water and that I should not over-water them, but judging from their small size this year, I think I was ill advised. Next year I am going to fertilize and water them more regularly.
