Yes! We all are 'weed pickers' at some point in our gardening adventures. It's amazing how those pesky little green weeds get into our gardens, even if we only garden in containers! You all seemed to have had a good time with this month's PSG T-shirt as we have never had such voting ties on all three aspects of our design. Color, phrase and image all had multiplt ties with the voting this month. Some of you came through in the end loud and clear on what this month's T-shirt should look like. This one reflects a bit of fun and sense of humor. Without further commentary, here's our October T-shirt "Weed Picker". Be sure to grap your's soon as they are only offered for one week.

Hello. I live in a trailer park in Northern California. Zone 9b. Limited growing space. That's why I am doing container growing. Fruit trees, herbs, berries, vegetables, fragrant flowers and plants, California natives, drought-tolerant plants, orchids. I have an AS in Landscape Horticulture and consider myself "well-versed" with plants. But container-gardening presented a new challenge. I have killed so many plants that I continue to read, research and inquire about what could be ailing my babies. There's always something to learn.

We are starting into the low light part of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. On November 1, Des Moines, Ia will get 10 hours and 22 minutes of daylight. The sun will be 33.7 degrees above the horizon. From Thanksgiving to Valentines day is considered to be the low light season in the United States. This is a time when growth slows down and I focus on mini greens, salads, and mushrooms. Many plants might like extra light, but I tend to focus on what requires minimal fuss for the conditions. What do you grow in these low light conditions? What do you grow? How do you compensate?
