There are fields right next to my home, I went for a walk and I wanted to share pictures of flax fields. I'm not a professional but those mauve flowers are so cute. (And I found a white one, which is pretty rare)

They bloom for just a few hours, so seeing flax flowers blooming makes the thing a bit magical✨️

I had scattered some blue flax seeds in the garden a long while back and totally forgot about it. This morning, I came across this beauty and was pleasantly surprised!

JOURNEY TO THE WEST LAVENDERFLAX VER

In My San Diego Garden and Kitchen

In this year’s winter garden I trialed a new way to grow kale. We don’t use too much and I have few takers in the ‘hood. Instead of devoting a four foot row to it, I planted my starts of Black Magic kale in a 15 x 15 inch block. Small space gardeners devise ways to grow veggies intensively. One start went in each corner about 12 inches apart and the fifth in the middle. I harvest lower leaves as needed.

In the photo above lettuce grows on either side of the kale block in well-amended soiI. Blue flax drapes over the kale adding a whimsical touch. I favor Black Magic because it is very mild, similar to Lacinato and last year persisted into late spring with no aphids. Most of my brassicas succumb to the pest by early April.

I harvested a full kitchen tub of these and a few other lettuces but neglected to take a photo. It’s the season when lettuce tends to bolt so in advance of that I delivered lettuce to a half dozen neighbors.

I suggested my friend, Betsy bring a basket when she stopped by. She selected Pomegranate Crunch lettuce, celery, parsley and thyme. She is a cook whose skill and creativity I admire and learn from.

I harvested more Nagami kumquats from the heaviest laden branches. Sliced crosswise, these will simmer in a half-strength simple syrup to top waffles, pancakes or a simple cake.

Leucadendron Gold Strike, the plant a gift from my uncle’s protea ranch in Valley Center. This was today’s church bouquet. Similar bouquets last for weeks with water changes.
