Gail's Strawberry Planting & Harvesting Tips:Plant your berries about 12-18 inches apart. This will allow for the mother plant to send runners to produce more berries. Berries require more water once the flower is set for bigger and juicier fruit. Always amend your soil with compost for good drainage.

The better the soil the better the berry. When harvesting keep green caps attached and do not wash. To preserve flavor and shelf life, pick into a shallow, paper towel lined container, no more than three or four layers of berries deep. Refrigerate immediately after picking. Hull and wash just before serving.

Gail's Plant of the Month: California Fuchsia (Zauschneria california mexicana)

This wonderful perennial groundcover thrives in poor soil with little water and flowers nonstop from July through to the hard frosts of autumn. The tubular, reddish orange, fuchsia flowers bring the hummers in and will become a bit of a war zone between any

two hummingbirds in your garden.

California Fuchsia does NOT tolerate overhead watering and will rot and break apart. It does well in both a perennial border or cottage garden as well as

any rock garden or xeriscaping.

This plant is a must have in any garden not only for blooms more importantly for the birds it brings into enjoy. Plant with penstemon and agastache for a drought tolerant trio that treats the hummers, too.

Matt's Tree of the Month: 'Autumn Blaze' Maple

Exceptional bright red fall color, drought tolerance, cold hardiness and fast growth combine to make this proven performer our most popular maple. Autumn Blaze is a stately show stopper in any landscape.

May's High Desert Bird of the Month: Lesser Goldfinch

In pondering my last ten years in the wild bird specialty business, I know northern Nevada customers' favorite bird has to be the Lesser Goldfinch. When there is an abundance of goldfinch at feeders, there is much rejoicing. And, conversely, when numbers are down (as is normal in summer), people will lament their disappearance as if a cherished pet has wandered away.

Spend a little time observing these small vibrant birds and you come to understand why they are welcomed so enthusiastically by so many people. These small birds

show vibrant color in any season, are fairly reliable visitors to feeders in any month of the year and in practically every habitat in our area. They are often the first feeder birds to arrive in new subdivisions, can easily be attracted to almost any backyard with feeders, and are even common in trees in shopping centers and office complexes. More than one dentist in Reno has finch feeders outside his windows for patients to look at while undergoing dental procedures

The Spice of Life By: Bree Lake

May is a great time to take advantage of all the culinary benefits gardening has to offer - especially the seldom used spice garden. A spice is a food flavoring derived from the non-leafy parts of plants - seeds fruits, flowers & roots. There are many types of plants that produce these flavorful additions to our favorite dishes.

Plants such as lemon grass, onion, garlic, basil, and thyme when dried and ground make sensational spices for many dishes. The dried fruits of sweet peppers ground into paprika

and dried hot peppers seeds can be a spicy companion for Mexican food and pizza. The perennial wild ginger root has no limit for

cooking and baking. Dried lime zest is a best bet for Thai cuisine and adding a chili spice can create the perfect rub for your next dinner party. Spices are not only another great way to utilize our garden's bounty, but they can get us through those long winter monthsBon Appetit�
