Apologies for the dirty dish but these amazing little peppers were in my lunch salad in Avignon, France. The taste was wonderful; sweet with a very mild pepperiness. I have not seen them in San Diego but I want to grow them permanently in my garden.

My Spring BarometerMy Spring Barometer
Daffodils (Narcissus sp.) are classics of spring but not so common outdoors in San Diego gardens because of our warmer climate. Many years ago, I planted the bulb from a (supermarket) potted gift bouquet into my garden. Each year if it flowers (like this year) I know it has been cooler and wetter than normal. Most years only the leaves emerge without a flower.
