In the garden

It's June, the birds are waking up at five in the morning on the west coast and all I can think of is being out in the garden. Mine is full of roses, the brightest pink geraniums (some climb up into the olive trees), pelargoniums, grasses and trumpet vines.  The plums and figs are still green. Some useful links:

• A foolproof guide to growing better tomatoes is here on A Way to Garden.

• June gardening tips for Los Angeles County residents via UC Davis (note the side panel with links to tips for each month of the year).

• If the thought of gardening scares you, Gro-Organic will install your own organic garden.
