With the passing of Labor Day this Monday, summer will officially be over, the kids will all be back to school, and white shoes will be deeply frowned upon. But, the season of gardening will be in full swing — because fall is actually the best time for planting, and preparing for your spring garden.
Here’s a new suburban farm we just found out about: Yummy Tummy Farms in San Jose. They offer educational classes and workshops on gardening and growing your own fruits and veggies.
While looking for inspiration for my edible container garden, I came across 3 different DIY solutions for growing veggies and herbs in your garden. (I know, my Picks are normally products you can purchase online, but I’ve been in a crafty mood lately!)
Taking photos of your garden is really important to understanding your garden, and which plants should go where. You might think you know the sun and shade patterns, but until you actually document them, its easy to make a mistake.

Part of the locavore movement is that idea that you should enjoy fruits and veggies when they’re in season. And what better way to enjoy melon season than by attending Melon Madness in San Francisco?

Once you sign up to do an online landscape design with Habitat Design, you’ll need to send us a base map. This sometimes scares clients because they’ve never taken measurements of their yard, let alone create a map of it. But never fear! Here’s how to do it (easily):
