Sandy soils are workable most of the year, but dryness in summer, most often a problem in southern and eastern areas, can limit their productivity.

Thanks so much for that great app (saving lots of paper!). We are using it to plan all our garden this year and so far it's been quite a success."The Consolidated Appropriations Act increases CalFresh allotments by 15% for the period January 1, 2021 through June 30, 2021. [ ACIN I-11-21.] This increase in benefits must be excluded when calculating the amount of an overissuance against a household. [Id.] For January 2021, the benefit increase will be issued on February 7, 2021. [Id.] The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 extends the 15% increase in benefits to September 30, 2021. [ ACIN I-24-21.] The 15% increase ended on September 30, 2021. [ ACIN I-78-21.] Jerusalem Artichokes -plant tubers direct outside in a single row somewhere the plants won't overshadow other crops when they reach their full height.

Cut down asparagus- tall, feathery asparagus foliage will be starting to turn yellow and should be cut down to just 2.5 cm above ground level. Rhubarb-they should be entering the dormant period now, from now until March, so now is the best time to plant new sets or divide and replant old crowns. Turn your compost heap- turn the compost heap regularly with a fork to aerate it and stimulate decomposition. water it if dry and cover to keep the heat in, this all speeds the compost production up.
