This page is my diary of what I am doing and where I get my "stuff". I have a very a small residential backyard garden located in Zone 9B. Sunset 14. One of my neighbors refers to it as the jungle. The climate is classic Mediterranean. Summers are warm and dry, temperature ranges between the mid 70's to the upper 80's. 90 to 100 are reached on occasion until the fog returns to cool things down. Winters are cool and wet, with 25 to 30 inches of rain. We have an occasional light frost in the winter now and then. The soil is Adobe, deep heavy clay amended with lots of Sonoma Compost and Rock Dust. (VIDEO) The main growing season is March to November but depending on the plant, some things can be grown or left in place through the winter months. Sonoma County is broken into three micro climates. Frost-free growing season is around 274 days from April 7 through October 16. Current Conditions

It is dedicated to my grandfather who had me investigating worms and spiders while picking strawberries at the age of three and Billy who lives next door...a large braying hound who growls when I am in the garden. We have not yet become friends. His desire I am convinced is to have a taste of me. Favorite Tomato's Marin Favs Redwood Barn 2012
Alrighty then...I have built 8 raised vegetable beds in the back comprising 205 square feet. Fruit trees around the fenceline. I am growing my own organic veggies and fruit. Too many years not growing, what was I thinking? I have decided to get healthy!!
