Ready to get your spring garden in the ground? Not so fast! In Stanislaus County, our weather patterns have featured rainstorms, low temperature drops, and highs in the 70's, only to repeat the rainstorms and low temperatures. These periods of sunshine remind us that spring is on the way. However, spring is not quite here yet!

March 20 is the first day of spring for 2021. After this date, there is less of a chance of frost which can damage vegetable plants like tomatoes.  Many vegetables prefer warm soil temperatures, and may “sulk” during cool weather.

You don't have to plant early to get the first tomato in your neighborhood. Many vegetables work well planted in April and still have plenty of time to produce.

We hope you will join our Master Gardeners for an evening talking all about how to have a successful vegetable garden.

Where*: On Zoom. You will receive a link the morning of the class.
