This will probably only interest the locals in santa Barbara, especially if you visit the farmers market frquently. Cherry season has started. I’m looking forward to pit-fruit season, when we get the peaches, appricots, etc. I also am looking forward to the figs and pears. Strawberries have been in season for a few weeks already. The tomatoes are not there yet. The root vegetables are looking great right now also.
Other than that, I’m still trying to catch up. I’m writing four papers in parallel with different collaborators, so I’m a bit overwhelmed. As the papers start to show up I will add information in the blog about them. There are a couple more in the pipeline after those that have been put on hold until I finish these. I hope you understand if the blog suddenly feels like an empty room full of spiderwebs.
