Gardening year-round (Temecula)
Comments (16)Have you been to the Farmer's markets in Temecula or Murrieta, KFMDM? Maybe there is a local grower or two there. You can see what they have and ask them about their techniques. Even if they are not to talkative studying the table will tell you something about what is possible. I live on the border between Alpine and Jamul which, according to Sunset Western Gardener, puts me in and around Temecula microclimate wise. My blackberries are doing fantastic for 4 years now. They are "Olallieberries" . We get hundreds of 1/2 pints of berries from a 35 foot row of blackberries on a 5' tall 3 wire trellis. Year round is easier if you get the right varieties and set up microclimates as you all have been talking about...for instance I harvested big heads of good broccoli in October that I planted transplants I grew and put in in August under 30% shade cloth but it was a type I found that won't bolt. Finding these varieties and requirements is a big puzzle and I have only barely cracked into it. For annual vegetables, I don't find that afternoon shade from a tree or building is near as good as full sun with shade cloth...or full sun with frost blankets, and black plastic on the ground for season extension of warm weather crops. Sometimes I have shade and plastic or row cover working together, one by day and one by night. Like on my seed starting tables. Plastic to block the wind on 3 sides and shade cloth on the south side and top to keep the soil in the flats from getting too hot. Then the plastic pr frost blankets gets pull over at night to keep things warm. Depend on what is on the table getting started. If you are lucky you have something blocking the santa ana winds from your garden. Mine is out in the open so , no.

Comments (3)Yup it's an aloe variegata. I love this kind of aloe and would love to get one myself. It seems to be etiolated a bit. Do you grow it indoor? If you grow it beside a window it's recommended to turn it every other day so it's receiving sun evenly. If it is not very steady in that pot you might want to consider transplanting it into a slightly bigger pot and put some pebbles at the bottom of the pot, also some top dressing, to make the whole pot heavier....See Morebaby plant on TOP of existing plant, what should I do?
Comments (3)Cut it off and plant it in a new pot? Maybe it is trying to save itself as an SOS? Maybe it is a witch's broom?...See MoreI’ve just rescued this plant, what should I do?
Comments (8)give it enough water, spritz the leaves several times a day. If the leaves look like they would perk up if they were hydrated, lay the whole thing in a bath tub filled with water for several hours or even a whole day. I would like to also unpot and look at the roots. If they are brown and mushy, bare root it, cut off all dead roots and then do the soaking. If there are no or very little good roots, I would keep the stem in water till enough roots develop....See Moregobluedjm 9/18 CA
