My garden is in Santa Rosa, California. We have a mediterranean climate which makes it great for growing flowers and vegetables all year round. The garden is always in continuous production. I do give the beds a rest once in a while.
I start most of my plants from seeds. It's fun to watch them germinate and grow. I look at my garden and say wow all that broccoli out of one little seed. By using seeds you are not limited to what the garden center has available in plant starts. You can get almost any variety of plants you want if you look hard enough.
Well spring 2010 is here and I just started to plant my vegetables. We have had a fairly normal rain fall this year. The ground has finally dried enough to start working it. I have planted potatoes, onions and strawberries so far. I have two beds ready for planting. Now I am going to weed the orchard section of the garden.
In six packs I planted tomatoes, peppers and cabbage. These should be ready in about six weeks to put out in the garden.
HAPPY GROWING
