We can grow lots of things in San Diego right through the winter that you couldn't elsewhere, like tomatoes (which are perennials in their native tropics). Keep me posted on your progress. And you should think about growing a winter crop to keep your motivation up: carrots, onions, lettuce, beets ... Good!

Loved the part about the winter squash--I was totally unaware that winter squash didn't grow in winter! All we grew this year was one tomato plant that is trying to produce. This winter we are going to get our garden ready again for the spring; we have been lax and let it get weedy. Keep on giving us motivation, 'cause we need it. Jason and Sarah,

Fortunately, our higher ups are committed to having fish in the future and our fish monger, Aiden, regularly speaks at international symposiums on sustainable fishing practices. When are you and Sarah coming in for a visit. You won't get better sushi in SD. thanks for the links! from there i went to read the article about fish and sustainability, which is something that concerns me quite a bit working for the Fish Market.
