Under the Solano Sun

Those of you who have ever worked with me, or have ever heard me speak, know that my favorite advice is, "Do your research." Well......I had the opportunity to do just that recently. I have been doing a garden make-over lately, and it rather got out of hand.

Did you know that the Vallejo Market is the largest farmers' market in Solano County? Did you know that it is a year-round market, the only one in Solano County? And if you know, why aren't you there every Saturday between 9 am and 2 pm?

Ouch! Recently when I looked out my bedroom window I was shocked when I saw this tree with overly excessive pruning cuts. I don't know why this drastic type of pruning was needed for this tree.

Over the last several years, my wife and I have been setting up a raised bed garden on the west side of our home. There are about 10 Eucalyptus trees on the west edge of the garden that provides some shade from the very hot late afternoon sun. These trees are about 35 years old and well established.
