If you garden you know the most important thing you do is take care of the soil. In this region adding compost is vital.

Full Circle Compost cooks fantastic compost! We add a truckload to our garden every year because even though we make our own compost it isn't as nutritious as his, and we need more than we can make on our golf-course property (tiny lot and huge list of rules). Here's a chance to learn about composting and gardening from another area expert.
From my mailbox to you:
When: Saturday, May 22 at 2:00 pm
Place: Truckee Community Garden, Truckee River Regional Park, 10500 Brockway Road (behind the playground)
Cost: $10:00. Each attendee will receive a bag of Full Circle garden soil.

I was told by a Fire Chief this evening that the Weather Service told him we would likely be in this same weather pattern through June: waves of warm followed by waves of cool and precip.
I'm planting more broccoli and lettuce seeds tomorrow.
Doesn't sound like a good year for tomatoes and peppers. Maybe that's why so many of my starts are stunted.
Bad news is normal cheatgrass amounts will triple as they pop up and drop seeds which germinate quickly on the cooler days. Fewer fires this year, but by August we could see huge fires in the hillsides. And that with a reduced fire fighting battalion.
The cool weather is also affecting pollinator activity, which will impact production. It'll be an interesting year for anyone who grows and/or eats.
