Predicting and planting Planning local food gardens in weird weather

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?

The Fishing Report: Tough steel heading continues

This has been, without a doubt, the most difficult steelhead season I have ever experienced. Usually, I am good for 20 or more fish landed and often released in a year and I am just a part-timer. Guys in the know, who have the time, should be able to land 30 or more fish in a season. One experienced angler I know named Robbie is usually good for 50 fish in a good season, but this year he has managed only five. I tend to fish around Healdsburg and so I have missed out on a lot of the action below Guerneville, but a quick check with Scott at Kings has pretty much confirmed that they are experiencing the same kind of thing down there. Fish are moving but not holding. Guys are getting fish when a pod moves through and if they are lucky enough to be where they are at that moment. This is a far cry from last year when the water was clear and the fish had to hold up.
