Thread: It's gardening time!

Dont worry...They'll grow! my best advice is dont baby them.

You should see the rice paddies up by where Pixelfixed lives..HUGE!!!! Right past Stockton on up.

Born a raised in San Jose,you can grow anything in Salinas.

Not anymore,no water to flood the fields,80K acres have been left fallow

Chopped garlic will grow in the dirt. Just dont baby it.

My son lives in Chico and last time I went up there the pads were flooded...? Thats strange. It was def rice. You can see it growing along i5. Is it stopped??? WHY???

For sure, we took the new UTV up toward Roman Nose lakes today, not really much higher then the Ranch up the mountains and hit snow
Still in the High 30's and low 40's most nights.. We do however have everything planted in the garden as of today..

The garlic looks pretty good, honestly not quite sure of when to pull it any hints on how I know it is ready ????

Last year. My son said they still flooded it last year. Your in Sac area. may be dry.

Son said flooded this year..My brother lives in Sacramento/Roseville. Brother said it was dry this year. Maybe I should check out my source before I post. I'll call him.

We plant in sept, harvest in june,when the tops start to dry out (they will be about 2 ft tall) hold the water for at least a week or more, do not pull them, you have to dig them,leave them lay in the sun,do not wash the dirt off,tie them in bundles and hang them in a shed for another couple weeks, use as needed. will last maybe 4 mos.
