Jackson Street Red Bluff CA 96080 Growing resolutions for 2012 By ROBERT AND HOBERLEY SHULER Adapted from the California Garden Club's website by Kathy Bramhall I am looking forward to the New Year! I've taken time to make the following gardening resolutions. Promise to keep a Diary of my gardening activities, which could include pruning, planting locations, pesticide use, and results. Promise to study the new seed catalogs and place my order early. I can get a head start with seeds that require warmer weather by planting indoors under lights. A fluorescent shop light works well, especially with a grow light or two different kinds of fluorescent bulbs. Promise to try the heirlooms, as well as new varieties. Promise to wait until the soil is dry before digging in. When it's wet the large clump will become "hard clumps". In early spring, pick up a handful of soil and squeeze it. When you drop it, the soil ball should readily fall apart. If it does- n't, wait until it is drier. With as lit- tle rain we've had so far, wet soil should not be an issue—but pay attention to the low temperatures. Promise not to plant summer vegetables in the ground until the soil temperature reaches at least 60 degrees—usually by Roundup weekend. Promise not to purchase over- grown plants. Small plants that do not have overgrown roots will grow faster in the garden. Check to see that young plants' roots are not growing in a circle in the bottom of the container before purchasing. Plant with the fine roots extended out into the sides of the hole but don't plant deeper than the original plant was growing in the contain- er—unless it is tomatoes and a few others. Promise not to plant in low, soggy areas unless what I am plant- ing thrives in water. Few plants can survive with constantly wet roots. Promise not to plant more than I need and can take care of; but enough to share with friends. Promise to start your own com- post pile or in my case take better care of my existing pile by keeping it moist and turned. Promise to turn off automatic watering system when it finally rains. Promise to use more drought tol- erant plants and install drip irriga- tion to reduce water use. Promise not to use as many chemicals for insect, disease, and weed control. Promise to sow some wildflower seed and scatter a few annual seeds to brighten the garden! Come join us at our Garden Club meeting Jan31. Our program will be on "Invasive Plants" presented by the Tehama County Resource Conservation District. For more information see the Web page at www.redbluffgardenclub.com or call 526-4578.
