Under the Solano Sun

Autumn brings many things Halloween, time change and leaf color Harvest and winter planting...

I have been thinking about all the gardening mistakes I have made over the years. They are many and varied. The ones earliest in my gardening career were some of the most outrageous.

It's that time of year again Asian persimmon (Diospyros kaki) harvest time! If you're unfamiliar with persimmons, they're orange colored fruit native to China. Asian persimmon seeds were first import in 1863 by William Saunders of the USDA.

Our family loves a farmers market. My toddler loves picking out produce, bread, and snacks she can eat immediately, and my partner and I love discovering new fruits and veggies.

At the Farmers' Market in Vallejo, I hear the title of this blog a lot. Usually that comment is followed by Wow, you know a lot! The simple answer to that is no, I don't know a lot; but I usually can find out where to look for the answers to plant question puzzles.
