Under the Solano Sun

Redwoods Safe This Year Hope Greens to be Cut Next Year Miss the Wreath Workshop...

When I was a first-grader in North Carolina, my mom sent me and two of my younger siblings out to look for holly in a wooded area near our home just before Christmas.

I look forward to the Home Seller insert in the Friday paper every week. This article caught me by surprise for two reasons. 1. I had just seen a news clip on the TV news the evening before. A bee expert from UC Davis was being interviewed about the very study cited here.

While walking along a local neighborhood landscaped area, I caught a glimpse of an interesting tree regrowth phenomenon. A tree had been recently cut and new trees were regrowing around and in the stump. There were two new growths growing directly on the stump.

It's that time of year again when most of the flowering plants in our gardens no longer bloom. However, I feel blessed to count on those that make a showing sometime between fall and winter. The Camellia sasanqua is one of the faithful.
