In My San Diego Garden and Kitchen
These are the days of small harvests. The seeds and plants of promise grow along in the warm, but waning autumn sun. Rain later this week will spur growth.
Cranberry beans harvested last month formed the base of several salads and a soup. Read more about the Dry Bean Harvest. Warm Cauliflower and Cranberry Bean Salad from Smitten Kitchen was a culinary delight. The cauliflower was pan roasted and an olive oil, white balsamic, Dijon dressing was superb. I’ll repeat when my cauliflower is ready. Maybe purple cauliflower with the cannellini dry beans I grew.
Here, a small cutting of arugula, the beans and red bell peppers combine for a savory lunch salad.
Other small and final harvests—Hot Cocoa rose and strawberry guavas.
The last of the bell peppers find their way into salads and entrees. We enjoy the red ones sliced with lunch.
I dice the peppers and freeze on a tray before storing in containers. They’re useful in the off season.
Some of our apples for Apple-Pear-Cranberry crisp.
A bouquet from what’s at hand in the garden—grevillea, cosmos, willows and red fountain grass.
Check the What I’m Planting Now page as I transplant and sow seeds for the cool season garden.

I got a text message today,
it was not unlike many similar messages we all might get this time of year.
This message came from someone I’ve known since 2018. We’ve exchanged this message every year since then, and a similar one at Christmas. Pleasantries between people in a working relationship.
Today, his message included the words, “thank you so much for everything”.
It was then I realized all that I provide and assist him with for all of the projects I’m working on for him.
It was then that I also realized, these are words that I’ve always wanted to hear. All of the years that I’ve been obsessively working for someone else’s benefit, none of those positions generated such a genuine act of thankfulness from the recipient.
It was a proud moment for me today reading that text message. Mostly because I knew the genuineness of its nature, and not some typical random gratitude text - on or near the day when we are supposed to be thankful.
I just wish I could’ve reached this point in my career without having to trudge through the shit that I have in the last 25 years. I suppose part of that journey through that shit has helped me get to this point.
Either way, I’m grateful for have finally receiving the words.
I guess I’m still in good graces with what is essentially, right now, for all intents and purposes, my only client.
