Growing California Native Plants (California Natural History Guide)

This is the first comprehensive book to aid the gardener in making a start with native plants. It takes the gardener through the beginning steps of identifying native plants, evaluating them in relation to conventional garden materials, and learning detailed techniques of propagation and culture. Annuals, perennials (including ferns), bulbs, shrubs and trees are included–with about 350 species treated in detail, and many others included in charts and listings for quick reference.
A few California native plants have been in cultivation for a hundred years or so, but widespread consciousness of natives is relatively recent. It has arisen partly because of the recent drought, which natives survived more readily than exotics, and partly because of growing awareness that many natives have become rare or endangered, and may be preserved and perpetuated by cultivation for their ornamental qualities. The book is in full accord with the new trend in landscaping in which the environment, climate, and restricted water supplies are taken into account–not only for gardens but also for parks, roadside plantings, and other large-scale landscaping.
Because propagation and cultural methods for many native plants have never been recorded, the author spent years gathering information through correspondence. She has also had personal experience in growing natives for more than 30 years. The result is the first complete, practical, convenient guide for growing native plants. It will be essential for the experienced gardener and the beginner alike.

Spring is certainly the busiest time of year in the garden–new plants demand to be seeded or put into the fresh, spring earth, while old plants grow with renewed vigor and weeds and pests leap back into action after the dormancy of winter. This is the time of year when gardeners must jump into preparing the garden with great energy and enthusiasm to attain the desired pleasing results later in the year. Steven Bradley covers all the basics and a lot of ground in this workbook-like guide, including planting, propagation, pruning, lawn care, maintaining a small pond in the garden, rock gardens, climbing plants, and much more in this beautifully illustrated, step-by-step guide to waking up your own garden in spring. –Mark A.

Waking Up the Garden : Planting, Clearing, and Other Spring Tasks

My ode to the lowly onion. If you do not experiment with onions currently, give them a try. They are easy, low-maintenance plants that are very rewarding to grow. They produce well and can give you a year-round bounty. I produce onions year round and harvest fresh right when I start cooking. Yellow onions and chives are my favorites, to grow, but vidalia and white onions are also tasty bulbs. I have also included some of my more common uses. I also use onions in my chili, but I don’t make that many batches on chili until the fall and winter. Happy Growing!
