This has to be the mildest January I can remember. It's 66 degrees right now! I still have all kinds of greens, including a little bit of lettuce in the garden. Before I know it it will be time for spring planting.

They delivered the blood orange tree yesterday. It arrived in good shape, about a foot and a half tall with plenty of healthy looking green leaves. I repotted it and put it in the sunniest spot in the house - although I'm still not sure that will be enough sun. I don't think it will get oranges until a couple of years from now, but still it's nice to look at.

I also got planted some window herbs - cilantro, parsley, oregano and chives. I really miss the herbs in the garden.
