Under the Solano Sun

This year I am using 5oz cups for vegetables and flower seedlings. I used them last year for some succulents that I wanted to share for fundraising and they turned out great since it made transport so much easier.

I know that there are houses broken into quite regularly in the Fairfield/Suisun City area, but a theft from the garden? That's exactly what happened at my house 2 weeks ago a theft! Now I realize that the missing object is not worth a lot nor the normal sort of prize to take.

I recently moved to Vallejo from San Francisco. I had installed a rainwater recovery system back in San Francisco which captured over 1,000 gallons of water for use in my garden. I wanted to duplicate and improve on a new water storage system here.

I really enjoy the moon when it is full. This year, we have several unique things happening with the moon. In January, we had the full moon eclipse. I made sure to set the clock and get up early to see the eclipse.

A few years ago I received a garden angel that was made out of an old bowling pin. It was hand-painted and had a country feel to it. I set it out on the edge of my patio, nestled among the pots, and would bring it in over the winter.
