The Stanislaus Sprout

I've noticed over the years that by the end of August, gardeners like myself, and sometimes their gardens too, often reach a state of sticky, sweaty, overheated and aphid-covered exhaustion.

Curious about composting but not sure where to start? Tried composting in the past but gave up for various reasons?

When you see bees in your garden, you likely see primarily European honeybees, who are crucially important to the Central Valley's agriculture since honeybees pollinate 90% our almond crop.

August is here and summer vegetable plants are still growing strong.

Planning a camping trip? One item you can leave off your packing list is firewood. The slogan, Buy it Where You Burn it! is a catchy reminder to purchase firewood at your destination. By bringing wood from home, you can unknowingly spread invasive pests and diseases that can harm trees.
