Communal October & the Monthly Calendar of Regional Gardening Events
Of the harvest – from the vast chartreuse rice fields and the statuesque almond, olive and walnut orchards running through our region, to the end-of-summer tomatoes, peppers, beans, and squash finishing up in our home gardens and now filling our kitchen counters, freezers and shelves. Cool, even cold, nights and days with a prospect of rain are returning. We are gathering, and we are planning and planting for the seasons to come. Photo : Rice fields, Central Valley in October.Fellow gardener Wendy Brown of Chico shares that “This is indeed the season in which we plant our visions for spring....Do not forget about anemones when planting your bulbs, she urges. “It is the very moment to get anemones (and ranunculas) planted so they can get up before the weather goes cool and moist and before they're buried in leaves. I think they are one of the great undervalued and underused treats of early spring. They come in bold colors, begin by Valentine's Day if up before the cold, and bloom on and on as long as they get sun and water for about 2 months. They produce more blossoms--on good cutting stems--than any other bulb. Though not as spectacular as ranunculas, they are pretty good, come way earlier, and go on maybe twice as long.” Wendy recommends John Scheepers/Van Engelen online. "People can go in together and split the high shipping.”
