Under the Solano Sun

I had not planned on buying any plants when we went to a plant sale. ( I know famous last words) that didn't last long as 5 plants came home with me. One Salvia Heatwave Blaze', 2 Achillea Firefly Pink' and Cerise Queen', 1 pink Agastache and Teucrium fruticans Azureum'.

Recently a friend of mine asked me to look at her apricot tree and give her some advice on tree pruning. This tree had never been pruned and it produced small apricots. It had several limbs about 1 all growing upward.

A few weeks ago, Master Gardeners of Solano County were treated to an outstanding talk about Asian Fruits and Berries given by one of our own Master Gardeners, Kathy Low.

December is harvest time for citrus, especially oranges. Drive past any grove and you can't help but notice the golden almost glowing globes of ripening fruit. Certainly, the two trees in my side yard are hard to miss and difficult to pass by.
