Here in Los Angeles, we are in the grip of another heatwave and the effects of Hurricane Linda, (now spinning off the west Mexican coast)so we are having extreme hot temps, high humidity and flash floods in low deserts.
I am now working through the night and early morning when it is cooler, picking my vegetables either at sundown or early morning..nothing gets fresher than this.

Hope you enjoy the photographs, I am also making a potato salad with chipotle peppers, lemon juice, walnut oil, tomatoes, garlic and cilantro.
