There's another new face around UCCE San Diego! Gerardo Spinelli started Monday, October 12th as the Production Horticulture Advisor, based in San Diego, with programmatic responsibilities in San Diego County. Please welcome Jerry (back) to UC ANR.

All nine sessions of the virtual 2020 UC Master Gardener Mini-Conference are conveniently available on the statewide program's YouTube channel.

This time reminds me of when we lived at South Lake Tahoe several years ago. We had a house that had approximately 40 pine trees in the back part of the lot. We were told that we had to religiously rake up the fallen needles and remove the dead limbs from the trees.

That's a wrap! The virtual 2020 UC Master Gardener Mini-Conference was a LIVE stream success. All nine sessions streamed directly to the statewide Facebook and YouTube channels, which made for lively comments and instant access to recordings.

UC President Michael Drake attended his first meeting with the President's Advisory Commission on Agriculture and Natural Resources (PAC) on Sept. 30.
