Under the Solano Sun

At the end of fall last year, I decided to redo the planter boxes on the outside of my deck. They had a variety of sage and salvia as plantings within. The plants were old and not looking well, so I decided it was a chance to plant something new.

I saw an advertisement for the California Honey Festival last year and was unable to go. Fortunately, the opportunity arose again this year and I was able to attend this past weekend.

It was a dark and stormy night, the rain fell in bucket-like torrents, the wind howled like an uncontrolled banshee blowing rain into every outside nook and cranny. After several miserable hours, slowly the storm subsided and in the morning the sun poked through the clouds.

There once was a gardener named Jennifer She knew all the corms, blooms, and conifers- She named all the pests: Beneficials are best! Solano and Yolo MGs will concur: Jen does a great job! Thank you!...

When the weather is just too rainy or too windy to tolerate being outdoors gardening, I indulge my gardening hobby with another related hobby Pinterest. I collect vintage fruit crate labels.
