Show Notes
It is the January To Do List – lots of fog in the California Central Valley recently, so a good amount of moisture even without significant rain. Temperatures have been on the lower side, but no major freezes. Even though it's the heart of winter, there are things that need to be done during the dry periods. It is time to plant: Asparagus plants Bareroot trees, roses, shrubs Radishes Lettuce Kohlrabi Peas Onions Bok choy Fava beans
Chores include: Protect from frost. Watch weather report for potential frost days Don't work wet soils --- very important Spray for peach leaf curl and other fungal diseases Can prune fruit trees – but listen to the caveats in the episode
