As my favorite time of year approaches, blossoms are slowly popping out from naked limbs, soft sunlight kisses the ground, and billowy clouds fill up the sky. This could only mean one thing — planting season is near! This is a time of careful plan- ning and breaking up the cracked winter soil that is devoid of all life — except weeds. Darn, dirty weeds; how I hate them so. There is something about going into your backyard and harvesting your crop instead of driving to the store when you need produce. Need a tomato to add to your gourmet pizza, or a sprig of pars- ley for garnish? No need to trek down the block; just walk a few steps to the garden and voila! — fresh pro- duce in your hands! Plus you don’t have to worry about what kind of scary little extras are in your produce, because you cared for your plants yourself. No greasy waxes, no nasty pesticide residues, no gasses to speed up ripening — just pure, unadulterated, fresh, ripe pro- duce. Sounds great, huh. Try it, it’s really not difficult if you aren’t afraid to get down and dirty. Plus you attract all kinds of gorgeous lit- tle creatures for you to gaze at. It really is a rewarding, great thing to have your own garden. If you’ve never planted a garden, don’t have room in your backyard, or have no backyard, don’t worry! You can make some pretty amazing container gardens that virtually take no effort at all. There’s even tomato vines that are in a hanging planter on the market now — all you have to do is water them. So, why should you prefer homegrown over store bought produce? Homegrown fruits and veggies are so much better tasting than commercially grown stuff. Not that big farmers are bad — because without farmers we would all starve — but they have to worry about shelf life, large quantity, and shipping long distances, where the home gardener is more concerned with peak ripeness, since the garden is only a few feet away from the table. Sure, you may not have the experience and education a commercial farmer has, but that doesn’t mean your green thumb will fail. Just do it! Go buy a pot, and some potting soil, throw a plant in there, water it, throw in some organic fertilizer once a month — and in no time you will get to eat your success. Not sure what to plant and when? The Vegetable Gar- den (http://www.thevegetablegarden.info/planting- zones) is a handy dandy little website that will help you out. All you have to do is find out which zone you live in and go from there. Go to the site and enter your zip code to find your planting zone. Once you do that you can find the planting schedule for your zone. If you’re like me and like to see a monthly calendar on exactly what to do in your garden, you’ll find a calendar for each zone on the site too! See? So easy, right? During cooler cli- mate, you can try setting up an herb garden in your kitchen window sill, or at a south-facing window. Don’t be scared — take baby steps first — it will be worth it in the end! Candice Rogers aka “The Old Lady At Heart” works in the agriculture industry as an Entomology Research Coordinator and in her off hours she devotes time to preserving the past and adding her own personal flare to traditional arts once attributed to a more simple generation. She enjoys blogging and showing others how fun these traditional arts can be. Her goal is to encourage others to slow down and get back to the basics — while learning from her own mistakes and laughing with her along the way. 2 The Bakersfield Voice Sunday, April 10, 2011 Share stories, photos, blogs www. bakersfieldvoice .com Submitting your sto- ries for The Bakersfield Voice is simple and FREE!
