Plants have to put up with a lot! Winds can be severe enough to cause physical damage or persistent enough to dry plants out. Winds that bring dust or ash can also make plants' lives more difficult.
So, you would figure as a UCCE Master Gardener you'd be very organized, not necessarily true. Take me for instance, I found a variety of bulbs that I had stored last fall to replant this spring. Unfortunately, I didn't label them.
The days are getting longer and warmer, signaling that spring will be here soon. This is when beneficial insects begin to emerge. Attracting beneficial predatory and parasitic insects into your garden helps reduce the population of unscrupulous insects.
