ByBobieHughes I do not know about you, but I am already tired of the drought and it is not even May. What is a person to do? Well I know my skills with "rain dancing" have ob- viously been unsuccess- ful. I know that ignoring the problem is not doing anything to make things look better in my garden. What is a busy, tired per- son suppose to do to have a nice looking yard that is not a rock garden (that is just way to hot and makes the house hotter and burns the bottom of my shoes! I have been trying to find the articles that were written back in 2007 when we had our last drought. We somehow survived that event and then we forgot what we did to sur- vive. Well I think the peo- ple of the Red Bluff Area had some pretty good ideas of things they did years ago that worked to keep their yards look- ing good — maybe not as great as usual — and I think that it would be fun to share some of these. So I am proposing a sharing section in this weekly col- umn to continue until we get some real California liquid sunshine called "Ways to Keep Things Green & Growing." Here are a couple of ideas I will share. Invest $10 or so, in a hose timer- so you can water a flower bed before you get up in the morning. That way you can water a second flower or lawn area be- fore you have breakfast. The dishpan you rinse your breakfast dishes in can water a larger plant or tree. Doing this you have helped your garden look green, but have not wasted any of that pre- cious water. That idea puts a smile on my face. There are several plant sales coming in May. The Red Bluff Garden Club's plant sale will include a wide variety of plants, garden art and vegeta- ble starts. The Sale will be from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Friday, May 15 and Satur- day, May 16 at the Union Hall at 12889 Baker Road. If you are looking for native, drought toler- ant and deer resistant plants, the Sacramento River Discovery Center is having its plant sale from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday May 9 under the old oak tree in the Discovery Gar- den. Both organizations provide financial assis- tance to area high school and college students. Hope to see you at one or more of these events in the next month. Please send your" Ways to Keep Things Green & Growing" tips to bhughessrdc@ gmail.com or via mail to Bobie Hughes, 1000 Sale Lane, Red Bluff, 96080.
