This is the time of year when all of us who buy those overpriced, tiny-urban-lot properties in California remember why we live here.

In bloom are citrus, gazanias, iris, iberis, groundcover roses, viburnum, euryops, argyranthemum, abutilon, osteospermum, leptospermum, nemesia, alstroemeria, passiflora and hardenbergia vines, callas, cestrum and begonias. Sounds like a lot but actually isn't. The garden really is in the doldrums of winter just before the real spring arrives in a couple of weeks, with the noxious but pretty weed Oxalis per-caprae that is our confirmation that the garden is really going to get started.

I walk around my house every morning, and yes, I have to pull weeds which are also springing up everywhere!
