The Stanislaus Sprout

Recently, we recorded two videos on growing spring vegetables. The presentation reviewed how to prepare your garden soil, choose the plants you'd like to grow, and how to grow plants from seed or transplants.

Hello everyone, last night we had a class in English on Spring Vegetable Gardening. If you weren't able to make it, you can watch the recording we did last year on our YouTube Channel at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_LKIOSIPTc&t=1s Tonight, February 23, 2022 we are holding this class in Spanish.

Let's meet online next Tuesday for a class on how to have a successful vegetable garden. We hope you will join us whether you are just starting out, or want to share your tips (in the chat) as a life-long gardener. Where*: On Zoom. You will receive a link the morning of the class.

Winters are generally cold with few flowers blooming. While wandering around my garden on a recent sunny January day, I observed honey bees flitting from flower to flower on a ceanothus bush.

When discussing fruit tree planting and growing, I always stress the importance of developing trees for the long run. While you may plant and harvest vegetable crops in a single season, fruit trees and grapevines remain in your garden for many years.
