I’ll start! Two kinds of rosemary in a neighbors yard ( I thinkthe uprightone on the left is “Arp”), and bee activity in January!
Another neighbor’s citrus
Anyone pruning? My blow and mow guy cut back some crimson clover cover crop, and pruned a plum 
fortunately a flowering one.
Several seedlings I haven’t tried in winter before, and apparently not great timing, but I haven’t lost all hope
In a greenhouse; a mix of lettuces. I’ve eaten some cuttings.
Chard and collards. Thank goodness they grow so slowly now
Bunching onions 
Outside
Snap peas
Favas
I haven’t stopped trying
Chitting potatoes (in the unheated greenhouse)
And outside , an overwintered plant, ravaged by something ; snails, flea beetles, pill bugs?
I’m still trying hard necked garlic. Still haven’t learned my lesson.
New to me for 2025: bunching onions, leeks, and lovage, all from seed. Also ginger from store roots. Hopefully more, tbd
Is it typical for the rosemary on right to flower in January?
Here near Monterey Bay coast the camellias started blooming in November 
My first time too! When would you plant your seedlings outside? Do you know what seeds you have? I think I have Guardsman, Tokyo White, and Italian Red of Florence.
Sasanqua Camelias? Here too.
I think I have seen blooms on Rosemary in January before, but the bees surprised me!
Fascinating that lavender’s flowering in January!
Camellias are japonica, mostly red. Pretty!
I’m seed shopping this morning 
Thinking this mixed packet for first attempt:
The longer I garden, the more interested I am in attracting pollinators/birds, bees, moths, native flies, etc. Trying to add natives and feeder plants (the birds here were eating pink muhly grass seeds for weeks which was fun to watch)
Still seeing bees on Anisodontea sp. Strybing Beauty
(this plant is awesome, I wonder if it would grow in your region)
Some of the ceanothus also has early/second blooms that started in November
Lots of hummingbirds here!
Nice!
I just added a second one of those! It doesn’t thrive but it survives, so I’m going to try taking care of it.
It’s flopping. Should I cut it back? I convince myself I am in Sunset zone 14 at times.
I had beautiful ceanothus when we moved here, but when they died, I didn’t replace them l.
I trust you have been to Annie’s. I keep saying I need to get there, but have only bought mail order. I’m so happy they came up with a plan to stay in business.
More peas! These are "Sugar Lace ".
I will gladly take any zombie sage you want to give away!
Absolutely! I also have quite a bit of sage butter in the freezer, but not sure if that will travel as well.
Greetings, Gardeners. Another year, another garden.
I had planned on doing some pruning of fruit trees today, but the weather is not cooperating. I would like at least a 3-day dry window for this job.
Instead, I did the other big start-of-the-season job, and sketched out the master garden plan, created the multi-page seeding rotation and task list for the year, and put in our seed orders. Yay, me!
Indeed!
Is that in SoCal? How are things there?
As good as one can expect.
Things are still dicey.
Airdrops are helping, but the wind are not.
