On a clear January morning after a storm you can stand in West Covina and see snow on Mount San Antonio while the grass at your feet is still quietly growing. Leo's gardening care works those bright cold mornings — mowing the winter growth, edging the walks, trimming shrubs while they are dormant enough to take it, pulling leaves out of the lawn. Under the tall palms near Palm View the ground stays littered no matter the month, and somebody has to keep after it. Gardening in this valley is less about surviving a winter than about never quite getting a break from growth. Leo's treats that as good fortune rather than a burden.
