The Napa County Master Gardeners hosted a Fall Faire last month. The event turned out to be very successful even though Mother Nature paid a visit and gave us a downpour.
When I moved to a house on Napa's Dry Creek Road in 2009, I found myself living in the middle of a meadow surrounded by forest. The house looked bare sitting there in a grassy field. I wanted to add some color and make it look more inviting.
My neighborhood is the kind of place where you can put almost anything out on the sidewalk with a FREE label attached, and it will be gonea cast-iron frying pan, bicycle parts, a sofa, books, a box of Meyer lemons.
A couple of years ago, my husband and I decided to plant a lawn alternative in an unlandscaped part of our Napa property, an area covering about 1,100 square feet.
One of the joys of being a Master Gardener is working with a team to produce an educational event for home gardeners. To that end, Master Gardeners are growing gourds, pumpkins and Indian corn for our Fall Faire on Saturday, September 30. Find a link with more information at the end of this column.
