What to Do in Your Garden Now
Sunset: April 2008

4-24-08 lavender.jpg Despite our best intentions (and our overzealous purchasing at the nursery), we've been resigning ourselves lately to the possibility that our green thumb is, in reality, a few shades darker. But our heart sang with newfound hope when we saw this article...

Not only is the advice specific to the month of April, but it is also tailored to the different regions of the country covered by the magazine (Northern and Southern California, the North and Southwest, and the Rocky Mountain area). We're thinking about lining our front balcony with dwarf lemon trees and lavender for a nice waft of air when the window's open. What are your gardening plans for the season?

Now is the time take the camera to your garden, take out your sketchpad and draw what you've lovingly grown....

Bring the limeade and some shortbread cookies to your garden.

Right now I have broccoli, beans, spinach and carrots in their final containers. I just planted pepper, tomatoe, more broccoli, lettuce, mustard, bee balm, and more beans today.

If I had just one big pot in San Francisco I'd put a Brugmansia (angels trumpet) in it. Loves the SF climate and has a delicious evening scent. I grow a tree sized one outside my bedroom window and sleep to an intoxicating fragrance.
