The October episode of A Garden Runs Through It, hosted by Geri Hernandez, features discussions on fall gardening with guests Karina, Bonnie, and John from the UC Master Gardener program of Colusa County. Karina, the new coordinator, shares her background in education and her excitement for her new role in Colusa. Bonnie and John provide expert advice on fall planting, emphasizing the benefits of cooler weather, reduced watering, and ideal crops such as lettuce, peas, carrots, and herbs. They discuss the importance of raised beds for certain vegetables, like carrots and beets, and the advantage of planting perennials like salvia in the fall. They also highlight using local resources like the Colusa County Library's Seed Library to access seeds economically. The episode concludes with seasonal gardening tips and a plug for the upcoming pumpkin centerpiece workshop on October 17.
