Five things columnist Joshua Siskin recommends you do in the garden this week.
5 things to do in the garden this week:Freesia, a South African native that overwinters as a bulb-like corm is probably the most fragrant flower in this category. Freesias with white flowers – especially the Freesia Heirloom Antique Alba cultivar – are the most powerfully fragrant, followed by those with yellow blooms. Flowers in bronze, red, blue, or purple are less fragrant. Since Freesias are native to a sub-tropical climate, they do not require refrigeration prior to planting.
3. As fire season approaches in Southern California, those living in areas prone to wildfires may want to consider the “Miracle House” of Lahaina, the city that virtually burned to the ground in the recent wildfires that visited the island of Maui. The single house still standing in its Lahaina neighborhood is surrounded by a three-foot wide swath of river rock . Not only is the area free of plants which, no matter how fire resistant, will incinerate in a major conflagration, but river rock is not easily crossed by surrounding flames. If you have a lawn around your home, water it well because allowing it to dry out makes it highly combustible.
4. Broadly speaking, any vegetable whose edible portion is roots , leaves , or flowers, flower stalks, or flower buds may be planted now. As for flowers, sow those that sprout easily from seed such as alyssum, love-in-a-mist, bachelor’s buttons, California poppies and many other native seeds, calendula, baby blue eyes, and Oriental poppies.Edible peas are of three types. English peas, the ones you buy frozen in the grocery store, can be eaten raw once they plump, although their pods are not edible; they are the fastest growing of the three types, with some varieties ready only 50 days after planting.
