I'm an Alameda native with a deep appreciation for the joys of gardening
in sandy soil and a Mediterranean climate. This is where I share my
gardening successes and frustrations (of which there are many), as well
as news of gardening events and developments in and around the San
Francisco Bay Area.
About My Book
In April 2012 I published my first book, California Fruit and Vegetable Gardening (Cool Springs Press). Written for beginning to intermediate gardeners, it guides you through the basics of gardening (building good soil, planting techniques, small-space gardening, efficient watering, and plant nutrition) and helps you select the best edibles to grow in your California garden.
