Today is a beautiful sunny day here in the Oakland Hills. It's 59 degrees this morning, with the promise of hitting a high of 67 degrees this afternoon. It's a perfect morning to research an upcoming trip and finish a few chores inside, before moving outside for the afternoon. I've noticed some weeds that need pulling and general yard cleanup that needs to be done.

This morning I'm checking in with the University of California Master Gardeners of Alameda County website, specifically the Your Alameda County Garden, Month-by-Month page. Time to see what garden activities should be happening in April, May, and June here in the Bay Area. Nighttime temperature lows are above 45 degrees, so there is little danger of frost.
The main activities for these warmer months of spring include planting root crops and cool-season crops in April, and then summer vegetables, flowers and bulbs in May. Throughout the season is lots of weeding, thinning, watering, fertilizing, and monitoring for pests. These months are very busy for the home gardener (and I'm already behind)!
