Colorful Artichokes
 
   

This week we have some lovely, happy plants from the yard of our nursery manager. Check out those artichokes, and artfully trained hops. Scattered in I’ve included some fun pictures from market here in Nevada County. I like to go most weeks to the Farmer’s Market at the North Star House (a historic building connected with the county’s history as a mining town). Enjoy!

Is it too late to plant hops this Spring? I’m in Capay Valley

Rich, You can certainly plant now! Hops are often planted in May, and in colder climates than yours they can be planted as late as June.
