present day life as a mother and farmer. take a look. >> so this is the start of the farming process. this is where we do all of our seeding. my name is leslie weiser. i am the owner and farmer of radical family farms here in sebastopol, california. so after we seed everything from the barn, we put them into trays. they get put into our nursery, which is on an automated overhead watering. i spent a summer of my undergrad working on a farm in alaska. it was an organic farm and i was there from may to august. it's a very short growing season, and then from there, i just didn't think farming was viable or accessible for someone like myself. so i just finished my undergrad and got my master's and worked in corporate. one of my favorie crops is the chrysanthemum tea or the dewar. and so every year i'm increasing my crop. it is a

very difficult crop to grow. you can't grow it from seed. you have to take it from cuttings. it will start flowering in the end of september, and i'll start harvesting in october and then drying it, and then i usually sell out of it by the end of the year. by december it's a pretty popular crop. were born, 2011, i decided i wanted to raise them on a similarly to the way the farmers in alaska raised their children and their family. i really liked how their kids had a lot of freedom to move. they knew where their food came from, so i wanted to kind of recreate that. so these are the szechuan peppercorns. these are certified organic. when i started the farm in 2018, i immediately cover cropped the farmland behind us.

and then i took my kids and myself to taiwan, where they studied mandarin and were in a little preschool where they had a little garden, a little culinary garden. and it was really cool to see the vegetables that they were growing. this is my bitter melon hoop house, and i really worked hard to find a good way to grow this. that experience was that my trips to taiwan was very pivotal in terms of choosing what to farm. and then it was just some conversations with friends who, you know, were making suggestions of what to grow. because when i started the farm in 2018, i was not certain which direction i would go to. yet this i never knew what any of this was, so i had no idea i was not exposed to bitter melon. i had no idea bitter melon existed. i had no idea celsius existed. so this has been like a huge learning journey for me. so

it was very important and central to the farm. but now i feel like i've accomplished that and learned so much about myself. and now it's really just taking, you know, enjoying the farming and finding pleasure in the farming now and, and making sure that the business is viable and changing to a more sustainable direction. >> that's a great story. and abc seven is a proud sponsor of the 2025 san francisco chinese new year parade. you can watch the live parade saturday, february 15th, starting at 6 p.m. right here on abc seven and wherever you stream abc seven news. >> really excited about that. so hope you tune in and join us for that. you know, we can talk about our weather and it gets cooler, but it's nothing compared to what they're dealing with. of course back. >> east yeah we really don't have anything to complain about. let's get to meteorologist sandhya patel. sandhya? >> yeah, we sure don't. ama and dan, we are talking about snow all the way down to texas, louisiana, florida. and it's been a historic snowstorm along

with an arctic blast of air. you can see the snow moving through much of the south. here are the wind chills. i mean, this is dangerous. we're talking -14 in chicago. it feels like three in nashville, 21 in new orleans. as we take a look at our weather, we do have freeze warnings in purple for tomorrow morning, 12 to 10 a.m. the rest of the area under frost advisories. so definitely bundle up tomorrow morning right now on live doppler seven. just some passing clouds. afternoon highs will recover nicely under sunny skies. low to upper 60s. thursday is pretty mild. we might even see a few 70s in places like santa rosa and san jose, but it starts to cool as we head into friday, and by saturday, it's back to where we should be in terms of our temperatures. accuweather seven day forecast saturday is gusty, and there's even the possibility of a few showers around here. that's just one model, but don't worry, we'll still have above average temperatures and sunshine back in the forecast next week. dan and ama. >> all right. thanks, andy. >> all right. sports director

larry beil is here. how's it going? >> we got some baseball news. yeah. off season from vallejo to the hall of fame. cc sabathia heading to cooperstown with the very best of the best sabathia's class and how the votes went down. there wa

(vo) learn more at wellsfargo.com/getfargo. of this nba season, the warriors are treading water. they are the picture of mediocrity. 21 wins,

21 losses. they got maybe the most important stretch of the season coming up at sacramento tomorrow night. then six straight home games. a chance to try to string together some wins, some momentum, a chase. now yesterday just the opposite. the warriors got to look at what the current nba champs look like. the celtics came in and crushed the dubs by 40, showing exactly how far away this golden state team is from title contention. now the trade deadline is two and a half weeks away. doesn't appear to be some dramatic deal out there to add a star player. that makes sense for the future as well. here's steph curry on the gap between the celtics and warriors. >> and they are the defending champs. so they're coming in with a level of you know confidence and swagger about them. and it's the exact opposite of what we have right now. >> seems like an eternity ago. hopefully we can get back to that feeling and of being, you know, a champion. so we've got a long way to go. but you know, we've still got to remember those times so you can know what you're shooting for.

>> steph really candid. they got the swagger and we don't. baseball hall of fame has three new members, including one who grew up in vallejo, california. cc sabathia was on the ballot for the very first time and garnered almost 87% of the votes. cc won the 2007 al cy young award in cleveland, a world series title with the yankees in oh nine. he was a six time all star selection over 19 seasons. ichiro suzuki became the first japanese born player elected to the hall. he won the rookie of the year and mvp award as a rookie in seattle. ten time all star and gold glover. and of course, he had a big career in japan before coming to the states. somehow, he was not a unanimous selection. 393 of 394 voters picked suzuki. who's the one guy that didn't raise your hand? all right. also into the hall. longtime astros closer billy wagner. >> you know, i wanted my guys in the clubhouse or in the locker room to feel like every time i went out there, every fifth day that we had a chance to win. and, you know, if i was available, i was going to take the ball. and, you know, even

down to those days in milwaukee, you know, i was feeling good and wanted a chance to pitch every chance every three days. and, you know, they allowed me to do that. and, you know, i'm grateful for it. >> it's cool. got the whole family for the announcement. sharks and predators in nashville. just 67 seconds into the game. macklin celebrini. he shoots and scores. that is an elite shot right there. 14th of the season for the youngster. one nothing. 14 seconds later, sharks make it two nothing. then mikael granlund three. nothing. are these really the sharks? like i'm not used to this. there's all this. gulls. uh. they take one more before the break. alex wennberg to jake walman made it four one. oh, here come the preds. it is five three sharks as they head to the third period. so while you were asleep there was a great quarterfinal match in the australian open. i mean i was up logging every play dan. but i know you needed your rest. 37 year old legend novak djokovic taking on 21 year old star carlos alcaraz. they went back and forth. there was one rally that lasted like 35 seconds, the joker going for his 25th career grand slam. what a point right

there. the match went 3.5 hours, ending at nearly 1 a.m. the joker, ten time champ down under advances in four sets. >> i'm surprised that my kids are still here. i mean, it's. i mean, i love you. thank you for supporting me, but it's 1 a.m. when are you going to sleep? tonight. >> when are you going to sleep? right. that's funny. you know, immediately thinking of the kids. well, they should be in bed right. absolutely. >> he is colorful and so good. >> i mean, incredible and still going to get to the tail end of your career and still beat players who are. >> much younger. >> outstanding. alcaraz is an early 20s. so fun. >> yeah. thanks a lot. >> all right. thank you for being here with us tonight. i'm ama daetz. >> and i'm dan ashley for sandhya patel, larry beil, all of us. we appreciate your time. as always. have a great evening and we'll see you again at 11. with the way that pg&e handled the wildfires.
