I've been blogging off and on for the past ten years. During that time I've often wondered about our readers and their interests. So I decided it was time to stop wondering and to start doing something about it. So please click the link below and take a 5 question survey.
I recently did a presentation for theCordelia Branch Library inFairfield. They put on display several books, and one of them was The Lifelong Gardener by ToniGattone, aUCCE Master Gardener of Marin County. I found this very interesting and timely for me, so I borrowed it.
Welcome back to Part 2 of My Gardening Journal. I've worked on this project while you were gone. I measured and drew a plan of my vegetable garden, noted the directions of the compass, noted the hours of full sun, part sun, and shade during the day.
