Predicting and planting Planning local food gardens in weird weather

March 20, 2013

The warm weather of February and March has given gardeners planting fever, and a few local farmers are planting out tomatoes in hopes of being the first to bring the precious fruit to market. But is it worth the risk for a backyard gardener to plant summer crops early?

THROUGH THE GARDEN GATE: Primroses and plant sales

July 31, 2012

August and September often bring hot weather, so make sure mulch is in place and irrigation is working. Local and migrating birds are always thirsty, as are many insects, so dishes of water and birdbaths are appreciated and often vital. When seeds appear on plants, especially annuals, the plant considers it has done its job. If you remove the seed heads, you can prolong the bloom period. This is especially true of cosmos, zinnias, marigolds, and coreopsis. I leave many seed heads as I love to see the birds eating them. Autumn blooming bulbs may be planted this month that will bloom in the fall or the following year. These include certain crocuses and spider lilies. Watch the nurseries for these bulbs.

The Fishing Report: Dead or dying

September 18, 2013

I recently returned from my annual migration up to the Lower Klamath River. Much like the salmon themselves I have been returning to the river year after year despite the gauntlet of obstacles placed in my way. Whether it was the downturn in the economy or family pressures to stay home, I always managed at least a few days on the river every September.

THE FISHING REPORT: Tuna Time

August 7, 2012

Albacore Tuna fanatics are really chomping at the bit right now. It is that time of year when warm, blue, 58.5 degree water comes in close enough for sport boats to target these great eating fish. Typically anything inside of 50 miles is considered close but when the water gets into seven miles off of Carmel like it did last weekend, then there is some serious access for most boaters. Scores of five to 15 tuna per rod were reported with fish to 35 pounds. Wow! These fish really put up a great fight and, as already mentioned, are tremendous table fair.
