Nice!  I've never heard of a tacomaria.  Im so bad, the first thing I thought was, do you have a burritojesus nearby?  Then I googled on itand discovered there is a Taco Maria statue in Austin.  Had to go to google images.  Lovely plant!  Is it fragrant?

My tacomaria is blooming, and in February!??? Perhaps it's because it's from the southern hemisphere.

Today in the yard...  Pruned grape vines.  Grapes are best pruned in the winter.  If you prune them in the Spring, they drip sap for days.  I don't know if that's bad for them, but a cold winter day is considered a good time.  Pruned a couple of fig trees.  Did not take a lot of growth off the figs, just enough to keep the center open to light and breeze.

Plans for 2011....  North of the equator here.  The biggest challenge for my gardening is time.  I would rather be digging in the dirt, pruning, and  cogitating, than almost anything.  What's "cooking" for the winter kitchen garden are multiplier onions (one like shallots, "white potato onion", the other grows more like garlic and gives great scallions, "Egyptian multipler onion"), 2 varieties of garlic; some wild plum seeds that I collected last summer; and the perennials, fruits, and various hardy stuff.  

I was considering increasing my work responsibilities, and therefore pay - the demand is definitely there, there is a big shortage of people to do it - but I think I won't.  Part of that is life is too short not to enjoy what we like.

Figs look yummy Sentient! I have grape vines in my yard, they usually yield bunches of grapes. Even though I have native Mustang grapes they aren't yielding as much as last year due to the heat and drought we are having. But, we actually got a little rain today!

Cherries, pears, and apple are blooming! So are the tulips and daffodils! Really to chlly here to set out tomatoes but Ive set up protection for some with "wall-o-water" shelters and plastic cloches. Ahh Spring! My tomato plants are 6 inches tall, need to go outside soon.

Getting to be time to start tomatoes and peppers inside. Not sure if I will this year.... Been lazy. Still the benefits are tremendous. Maybe I'll get out last year's seeds. Should still be good. 6 peppers and 6 tomatoes should be doable..... :-)
