The Season’s Are A-Changin’

Friday, October 9th, 2009

It’s feeling a bit like Fall here in the Sierra Nevada foothills. Time to start thinking about Fall and Winter proofing your gardens, cleaning and putting up your tools and harvesting those last but not least vine ripe tomatoes. It’s also a great time to get those cover crops and wildflower seeds in the ground while the soil is still warm enough to get the seeds to germinate and put some roots down to hold them in place for the winter. Then they are ready to “take off” when the warmth of Spring wakes them up again. Then you’ve got a great start on your garden soil building, and wildflowers will be mature enough to put on some flowers for beautiful spring and summer color! Don’t forget to plant your greens, brassicas, garlic, onions and potatoes too!

What people want right now…

Worms from GrowOrganic.comRight now people are ordering mostly irrigation supplies and fertilizer!

Folks living in colder regions are ordering seeds and row covers.

Also, it seems like composting with worms is a hot thing to do this year; we are selling our can-o-worms and the redworms like hot cakes. People are really excited about trying this method of generating compost.
