Tips for wet-weather gardening

Tips for wet-weather ?gardening...|

Lydia Constantini of Sonoma Mission Gardens passes on handy information for what to do for your garden in the rain, now that we actually have some, or rather a lot.

She suggests organic Sluggo, Sluggo Plus, or Captain Jack’s Dust, or non-organic Deadline and Corry’s to beat snails, slugs and earwigs to your plants.

Water plants under eaves that the rain doesn’t reach.

Turn off irrigation and remember to turn it back on at end of rainy season, assuming we have an end. Sow wildflower seeds, cover crops for your vegetable gardens, and soil building amendments.

And plant spring bulbs now while it’s easy to shovel.
