Many of the folks around Stockton have discovered the simple joys associated with a backyard gardening. Top of the list would be all the benefits of having an abundant source of fresh vegetables and fruits available literally within arms reach. It’s hard to avoid eating a salad when you can pick it from your own backyard! The other benefit is the decent workout you get from gardening.

If you’re just starting out your backyard garden for the first time you want to make sure you keep it clean. This especially applies to areas around fruit tree. If fruit falls and you’re not going to toss it into the fridge for later then you want to pick it up to avoid it rotting on the ground. Fallen fruit can attract all kinds of unwanted critters so it’s best to get rid of it ASAP.

You’ll get more production out of your peppers, squash and eggplant if you pick then when they’re ready. In other words, make room for the new batch as soon as you can. Another way to stimulate growth is to feed your plants bone meal or other types of fertilizers that are high in phosphate. Yes, even our plants can benefit from a supplement or two.

Just because summer is winding down doesn’t mean you have to stop growing. California has the best climates for all kinds of year-round gardening. The fall is the perfect time for broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower and celery.
