My November 17th posting showed this garden from its start in 2002 until April 2007. In the picture below, Milo and I are enjoying it on November 13, 2008. The red berries are hanging on a toyon , also called Christmas berry (Heteromeles arbutifolia), and the vine on the left side of the picture, in front of the toyon, is Roger’s Red grape (Vitis ‘Roger’s Red).
