Fall is here, and it's not too late to get fall bulbs into the ground. In our climate, you'll want to plant bulbs by Nov 30 at the latest. A true bulb is defined as a compact package of fleshy scales with a small basal plate and a shoot that emerges deep within the bulb.
My summer garden is done producing. I've removed all the old plants except for my basil which continues to thrive. I've weeded, turned the soil, and amended my soil with several inches of organic matter, which in my case was raised bed soil and some compost.
In partnership with the California Native Plant Society, San Joaquin Chapter, the UC Cooperative Extension Master Gardeners of Stanislaus County are offering a free talk on the indigenous people of California.
