Under the Solano Sun
Seasonal observations by UC Master Gardeners of Solano County
What a wonderful time to be thinking of those young garden lovers on your holiday list. I can't think of a more perfect book to recommend for gift giving than Up in the Garden & Down in the Dirt.
Spent this past Saturday at the Master Gardener table in the weekly Vallejo Farmer's Market. Not a great day with so much smoke in the air from the horrific fires north of us. The smoky air kept the visitor numbers on the low side.
Many of us have heard that coffee grounds are good for plants. People recommend adding used coffee grounds to the garden, either directly or mixed with compost or other organic materials, as a means of adding nitrogen-rich organic matter.
Baking persimmon cookies with chocolate chips for our annual Master Gardener Wreath Clinic, I began to wonder where the ingredients, especially the spices, I was using had come from.
