Under the Solano Sun

Roses are back, in the home garden! For the next month, you will see roses most anywhere you look outside, and most of them add to the general floral background fragrance that can permeate our home gardens. Roses show up in our art and literature at least as far back as ancient Crete.

I have been out walking even more of late than usual. Besides exercising, I have been checking out other homeowners' plant choices and landscaping. I look for what I call pocket gardens. For me, that means a small portion of someone's yard that seems to have received a little more TLC.

Sun, Water and Fertile Soil Lots of Veggie planting to do Tomatoes, Peppers you name it...

In typical years we have travel plans during the spring and summer. This year, my husband was planning to walk the epic Camino de Santiago, in Spain, so I had decided 2020 was the year of the women.

As a recent Master Gardener trainee, our very first class was on Introduction to Horticulture. It is here that I learned about Binominal Classification System, meaning two names and this nomenclature contains NO COMMON NAMES.
