Fruit Tree "Flu Season" comes with late rains.
Water born diseases spread in fruit trees with late season rains. We need the water for roots to grow, but at the same time, diseases spread. Expect Cherries fruits to have cracks. Expect leaves of Peaches and Nectarines to get Peach leaf curl even if you have sprayed. Expect the... Continue reading

Early season Weeding
Keep your spring garden weed-free. It is easier to hoe small weeds than try to pull large, deeply rooted weeds. If you are fighting Bermuda grass, you may have to resort to treating individual clumps with a paint brush or cotton gloves that have Round-up on them when the Bermuda... Continue reading

Decorative, Useful Plants You Can Eat
Edible. And God made all the plants for man to name and eat and they were good. Good to eat, and wholesome to digest, as a worm to a toad, a toad to a snake, a snake to a pig, a pig to a man, and a man to a worm. Don't worry, though, God will give you a new body and He will renew your soul for eternity for God is Love. Continue reading

Water-wise Yards
It's in the daily news, on the radio, TV, Internet, grocery line conversation, barber shops, prayers, the dreaded word "drought". Back in the 1970's, I was interviewed on TV and for the newspapers about the great drought. Will we all shrivel up and die? Will our yards all be dead; our lawns, shrubs, trees, flowers and vegetable gardens? Continue reading

Garden Activity January 29, 2012: Ken Brizzi Community Garden
This class clarified winter and summer pruning and the reasons for pruning. I showed flower and leaf buds of various fruit trees and how to identify different types of fruit trees by their dormant wood. Participants learned how to make their trees produce at a younger age, and how to have fruit produced at a pickable height, that is without needing a twenty foot ladder. They also learned the value of how to control where the next branch will grow and in what direction. The demonstration was hands-on and I helped them to prune and graft with purpose and success.
