We are above frazier park. We can't start planting until after mother's day. We still get freezes until then. Monica

I found aless messy way to seed pomegranates. Cut off the crown, remove some of the white pith. Score into 1/4's,soak in large bowl of cool water for 5min. Hold fruit underwater, break each scored section apart, separating the seeds from skin and membranes. Dry seeds on paper towels. I love...

Thank you. Monica

Yes, I have room in a fridge. DH got them in Bakersfield, they just say ' yellow daffodills' on the label. If Iput them in sawdust, where do I keep them? The fridge or storage? Monica

DH bought me 100 daffodill bulbs the middle of Nov. The day our daughter and grandchildren came. We have not been around the grandkids much, one we have only seen once for 1 hr. and she is 3yrs. old! Our daughter was getting ready to go back to Afghanistan for 6 more months. We spent the time...

Mid Dec. will mark three yrs. here. I thought my garden was a priority:lau I thought that it would get done one of the first things:lau DH said he needed a tractor first, then it kept getting put at the bottom of the list. I finally convinced him that it would save on the grocery bill. He also...

DH decided that for the other gardens he will use 8' peeler poles instead of the stakes so it will be sturdier and look better, otherwise we like how it turned out. Monica

Well my garden is finally done and I have planted parts of it. I didn't do much as I got such a very late start. This will be a test to see how a late garden does here. We already had an early frost for three days and I lost several things, that's okay as the things I lost I knew wouldn't grow...

Everytime we go to the nursery we spend a couple of hours talking to her. I will look for these varieties and talk to her about them also. Thanks for all the advice. Now to decide what else to grow right now. Monica

After it was dug. Dh scooping dirt. Sifting rocks out. Dumping dirt. How it looks now. We still have another evenings work worth of dirt to do. In the background you can see what I mean about the bowl. Monica

OCF- We usually start having lower night temps sometime in Oct. Last year we had our first snow before halloween! The year before not until just before thanksgiving. When we lived at the beach in ventura county, I grew tomatoes all the time. They still produced heavily even when temps were in...

My garden is almost ready to plant in. I am deciding what to plant. I want tomatoes but don't know what will grow here. We are at 5847ft. Right now it is getting down to 60* at night and 96* during the day. We have strong winds sometimes, and being in CA, no moisture. I used to grow beautiful...

Finally, DH got my garden to the top of the list!! He started it the begining of July. We worked on it most of the 4th. Not much since as it has been very hot and smokey. This is it so far; It's a long process as we have very rocky soil, but it's very fertile soil. We were going to do...

I repotted 5 cyprus trees. Waiting for DH to prep the area for DGD's secret garden. Monica
