Growing Garlic
Fall and winter is the time to let your garlic grow to be harvested in early to mid-summer. Although the weather is getting cold here in the foothills, we often have periods of warmer weather, so if you missed your November planting of garlic, you still have an opportunity. Here are some great resources for you from the UC Master Gardeners of Mariposa County.
Lessons from the School Garden
Join the UC Master Gardeners of Mariposa County and Wasuma Elementary School for "Lessons in the Garden." These short lessons for K-8 students are a welcome addition to any school garden program.
