Under the Solano Sun
Seasonal observations by UC Master Gardeners of Solano County
For several years, Bill the Bulb Baron, aka Bill Welch, used to provide garden clubs, including the Master Gardeners, with an interesting gardening program about what else?
Was listening to music the other day the song War what is it good forabsolutely nothingcame on and it made me think of clay what is it good for. Living in Fairfield you can probably guess the type of soil I have, CLAY. So if you have clay soil like I do, things aren't all bad.
Succulents have a reputation for being tough plants that need little care or water. Even so, it was a delightful surprise recently to find some long-abandoned cuttings blooming. Earlier this spring, I repotted a plant that had grown from a cutting given to me by my mother.
This is the time of the year when all the fruits of our gardening labors come blossoming into wonderful produce. At first, we're so elated to see the first few zucchinis, peaches, or tomatoes appear and feel like such successful gardeners.
