Summer Vegetable Garden Special


Today's the 2nd day of summer, and it's not too late to plant a veggie garden. In honor of this grand season, I'm offering a free 1/2 hour consultation (a $25 value) thru the 3rd of July. I will assess your site for the best vegetables, herbs and possibly, citrus trees. I will make recommendations regarding growing method (raised bed, square foot gardening) and irrigation system. If you like I can also help you get your small garden planted and coach you so you can have a successful gardening experience.
You can be eating your own tomatoes this summer but you need to act now!

UCD Seminar: Backyard Edible Gardening

Here's something interesting...Saturday, April 25th from 9 - 2, Backyard Edible Gardening: Growing a Successful Vegetable Garden, a "one-day seminar designed as an overview on how to establish, maintain, and utilize the many benefits of a productive backyard edible garden."
The event is sponsored by UCD's Good Life Garden, an edible landscape project designed to teach and inspire, located on campus at the Robert Mondavi Institute of Food and Wine. I'm intrigued by this concept which recognizes the importance of vegetables to a "good life"; eggplants and radishes finally get their due! The website has details of all the crops grown on the campus site, even recipes.
But, back to the seminar. I want to go, how about you?
