Assistance with Planting
I’d like to start some bare root berries and dwarf fruit trees. I’m in Northern CA, don’t know how to read those damned zone maps.
I’d also like to try some raised beds. Any ideas would be so welcome, with names of stuff to try, links, etc.
I also need to know how to build a gate and attach it to stucco on one side and a fence on the other…
And anyone with experience who’d like to help me would be welcome too. I’ll feed you if you come here, otherwise I’ll make you something wonderful.
Thank you all so much for your well wishes. I get black days sometimes – too much responsibility gets me overwhelmed and down occasionally. I’m hoping I can find an outlet in some gardening.

Thanks Blogsville, for having so many caring and diverse people to be friends with. You have one in me.

As for planting and stuff, google is best!
I love having a garden, but it is a lot of work! I do plant a vegetable garden, but what I really love is planting the flowers around the house. I think container gardens are pretty easy to manage, and I really think you have to just go with what catches your eye. I'll bet Wyatt has good ideas! He's close to you zone-wise and they do amazing things in their garden!
We all have down days! I sure understand that part!

You can make a raised bed out of just about anything (not toxic), just put some good organic soil in there and make sure it is in full sun. Start now with some salad greens. Your garden centers will probably be selling plant starts, like tomatoes and cukes in a month or so!! Have fun :)
Also...
Do you have any CSA farms near? That is a great way to get fresh veggies. You pay for a share of produce and you can volunteer in the garden too!
