   Virtual Plant Sale Descriptions

    Photos show what your plant will look like when it matures in proper conditions. The plants you receive will be 4-6 months old in gallon pots. 

2. Choose the plants you would like to order and how many. Check the box next to the variety and then choose the number you would like to order. If there is no quantity drop down, it means there is only one left of that variety. You can still check the box next to the variety to order the last remaining plant.
3. Complete the survey to purchase your plants.
4. Master Gardeners will prepare your order and contact you to let you know when your order is ready to be picked up at the UC Cooperative Extension Office.

Growing Garlic

Fall and winter is the time to let your garlic grow to be harvested in early to mid-summer. Although the weather is getting cold here in the foothills, we often have periods of warmer weather, so if you missed your November planting of garlic, you still have an opportunity. Here are some great resources for you from the UC Master Gardeners of Mariposa County.
