It's Time To Grow!

Any time is a good time to grow vegetables! You don't have to start at any particular time of year, just jump right in where you are! If your garden box isn't ready, then plant in containers (I have grown pepper plants in #10 cans that I have cut holes in the bottom for drainage); or get a bag of garden soil at Lowe's or Orchard's, lay it flat on the ground, cut around near the sides and plant! We are beginning to warm up and that means it's time to get the summer vegetables growing. Here in the Central Valley of California we have the finest soil in the world (I have read this numerous times by people from all over the world), we have a very long growing season (240 days), and we can harvest all year round. What more could you want?!? The garden does slow down during mid-winter and July, and we just do other garden projects (or maybe can the vegetables and fruit we have grown!).
