Join the UC/CE LA County Master Gardener Program at the Green Tent on Sunday, February 5 from 9 am to 1 pm. It’s their first visit of 2023 and they’ve got seed packets and great winter greens, peas and beans, flowers and succulents to give away, all of which they’ve grown for you!
Mini Chrysanthemum
Alyssum
Perfect winter greens that make great soups or additions to stews or sides:
Swiss Chard, hearty kale, bright tasting cilantro, amazing Fava beans, baby lettuce and sugar snap peas. Flowers include mini chrysanthemums, bachelor buttons and alyssum, which bees love, so plant a lot!
Don’t forget to bring your gardening questions to the booth. Despite all the rain, we still need to be water wise, so think ahead to spring, summer and fall as you plant your winter garden. Turn off the sprinklers till you know you need them, and remember that except for drip irrigation, hand watering is the most efficient way to keep your plants alive. Water the SOIL not the leaves!
Congratulations to the City of Los Angeles for giving homeowners and renters green bins for composting your organic waste. Now don’t forget to use them!
