Caption: This year we got lucky.
Southern California's weather isn't always this nice during spring. Some years, it's gloomy and rainy... Others, it's terribly hot. This year, we were fortunate enough to have a great Spring, at least so far. Plus, it's the perfect time to start a garden, and with the perfect weather, we couldn't miss the opportunity.
