This Week in the Garden
from the Garden of Eden Club

Garden of Eden Club. St. Francis Catholic High School Sacramento, CA

Spring is in full swing, and there’s plenty to do in the garden! As we navigate changing temperatures and seasonal rain, it’s the perfect time to get ahead on essential tasks like preventing powdery mildew on grapevines, staying on top of weeds, and feeding citrus, roses, and camellias. While nurseries are starting to stock tomatoes, peppers, and eggplants, patience is key—wait until soil temperatures reach around 65°F before planting warm-weather crops. Happy gardening!
