Good Morning! I have heard from quite a few of you. Most have not become followers, which allows you to post comments and ideas of your own. It is simple. Just sign up!

I recently purchased a book entitled "A Gardener's Companion for the San Joaquin Valley". It is presented by the Master Gardeners of Fresno County, and gives information on a month to month basis. For instance, in June a few tips include how to mow your lawn to avoid weeds, what to prune and what to fertilize, and also what to plant. Flowers, shrubs, trees and garden vegetables are all included. The book is available through the Master Gardener Assoc of Fresno County located at 1720 South Maple (by the fairgrounds); phone #456-7285. I believe that I paid around $20-25. It is full of great information!!

Speaking of master gardeners, I am still planning on attending the Gardening ABCs class this Wednesday evening. It starts at 6:30 and ends at 8:00 and the cost is $15.00 per person, payable at the door. I have room for two more in my car. If you are interested, call me on my cell or leave a message on my home phone. I will get back to you on Wednesday afternoon.

Don't forget to let me know if you want to purchase corn. Corn is a hot commodity right now, especially in view of its use for a variety of things, including alternate energy. I found the 25# bags at what I consider a great price. Your food storage should include corn!

Next week I will work on posting pictures of my friend's garden. She has attended many of the lectures in the County and uses the book I mentioned above as one of her gardening favorites. She has a garden bursting with bounty, and has many ideas for those who do not have a lot of room.

Have a great week!
