ByBobieHughes Asyournativeplant Garden Club writer, I am not sure that fall is finally here and I really want fall to act like fall. I am glad that the nights are cooler, but we are still running the cooler in the Sacra- mento River Discovery Center's greenhouse ev- ery day. The SRDC staff is still having to water all our new plantings every single day. Okay. I guess I am not complaining that the win- ter veggie seeds started 15 days ago that are already two inches tall. I am not complaining that the cherry tomatoes and tomatillos that the SRDC is growing for the Vineyard noon feeding pro- gram are still producing at a good level and look like they will continue to do so until we have a freeze. I am not complaining because the wildflower seeds sown three weeks ago are start- ing to appear along with new growth on the soft wood cuttings from our parent stock of California native species. And most of all I am not complain- ing because the plants be- ing readied for the Nov. 7 FallFest plant sale are al- ready looking great. I guess what I really want is the rain. Okay. I must admit when I started writing this ar- ticle I thought there were more things I would be un- happy about, but when you start putting ideas on pa- per and you start listing the positive things that are happening in your garden you become more thank- ful — but I still have to pick up after the Stellar Jays and all the empty acorns. Maybe you can help us find some Valley Oak acorns without holes in the sides- just bring them to the plant sale and we will give you a discount on your plants. We are happy that we have dry land rather than flood waters and we have the fall colors of Mexican Sage, California Fuschia, Goldfields, Germander and Russian sage , all are start- ing to show off a variety of flower colors. These last plants are not native to this part of California, but they are great for attracting pol- linators to your winter gar- den, especially if grow- ing vegetables. The advan- tage to having local native plant species is that they can tolerate our weather patterns and use much less water, especially if they are mulched properly. I know you have been waiting for this section of the article when I ask for volunteers to finish get- ting the plants ready for the FallFest Plant Sale 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., Nov. 7 in the SRDC parking lot adjacent to the garden. Why would you want to come help? You would receive first choice of the sale plants in- cluding the heirloom win- ter vegetable six packs at the end of shift. Or you might want to purchase some of our wildflower seeds collected from our variety of spring and fall wildflowers we have grow- ing in the two acre garden. Do we have what you are looking for? The seed and plant lists will be posted on our web and Facebook pages by Oct. 25 or be- fore. As a service, if you are looking for something specific you can let Floral Native Nursery or Native Spring Nursery know what you want and have them bring the plants when they come on Nov. 7. Both Nurs- ery's have plant lists posted on their webpages. The location of the Dis- covery Garden is within the Mendocino National Forest's Red Bluff Recre- ation Area at 1000 Sale Lane. The Discovery Gar- den is open to the public from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. We are easy to find — turn at McDonald's and keep on Sale through the RBRA gates and continue south until you see the big park- ing lot with lots of green plants and smiling people — that will be on the 7th. The Discovery Center is open 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Tuesday through Satur- day. At the Plant Sale you will also be able to pur- chase memberships in the Discovery Center for 2016, tickets for the Wild & Sce- nic Film Festival on Nov. 14 at the State Theater. The Discovery Center ac- cepts cash and checks only as payment for all items and services. For more information, call 527-1196, write to sac- ramentoriverdiscovery- center@gmail.com or visit www.sacramentoriverdis- coverycenter.com. I sure hope that rains come soon — then I will really feel like it is fall. RED BLUFF GARDEN CLUB Whenisfallcomingtoourgardens? COURTESYPHOTO Inside the Sacramento River Discovery Center's greenhouse. A large attendance and much enthusiasm marked the opening meeting of the season of the Woman's Improvement Club, which was held Wednesday after- noon in the City Hall. Over sixty ladies were present and eight new members were received into the club. Acting on the sugges- tion made by the News several weeks ago, the club took up the matter of se- curing for Red Bluff some of the statuary now be- ing used on the exposition grounds in San Francisco, and which is to be distrib- uted to the various Califor- nia cities after the close of the fair. Correspondence with E. L. Sisson, who has charge of the Tehama county exhibits in the Cali- fornia building resulted in his making application for statuary for Red Bluff and receiving assurance from the exposition directors that the city would receive its share. — Oct. 14, 1915 100 YEARS AGO... Woman'sImprovement Club starts work with enthusiastic meeting Driven by a high north wind a fire starting in the rear of a building on upper High street about 8:50 Thursday morning threatened the destruc- tion of all Chinatown and endangered all the build- ings on the east side of Main street. Burning shingles and sparks were carried two and three blocks and small fires were started by them, but were quickly extin- guished before any dam- age was done. The blaze first started in the house at 817 High street, spreading rap- idly until the other three houses in the south end of the block were in flames. Most of the buildings were occupied by either Chinese or Japanese and they lost practically everything, the fire buring so rapidly as to prevent any chance of sav- ing household furniture. The buildings destroyed were owned by J. R. Free- man and Mrs. B. Hearn. The total loss will proba- bly exceed $1000 and was only partially covered by insurance. — Oct. 15, 1915 100 YEARS AGO...
