Linda Wei started growing vegetables in 2015 and in that first year, experienced an abundance of success as well as a series of timely infestations that coincided with the end of growing season in Los Angeles county. Eating so many greens that year changed them from someone that “runs cold” to someone that can now deal with chilly weather and plant disasters much more robustly. Linda Wei is in the Fruit Trees phase of biology learning and still finds plant cultivation a rewarding skillset to practice.
