The Garden Company,

Rooted in Knowledge, Growing Together

There's such joy in our gardens in June. The morning air is crisp, with a peach blossom-scented memory of spring, but golden afternoons remind us that summer is on it's way.

Garden lovers watch our new green babies like worried parents, inspecting each new leaf break for health and vigor. Tomatoes bloom yellow; eggplants burst purple, and bright yellow zucchini blossoms show the promise of future harvest.

COMING SOON:

"Know Your Grow" at The Garden Co!
🌿 Nourishing Plants to Nourish Our Souls 🌿

As your tomatoes, peppers, and fruit trees hit their mid-season growth spurt, they need the right fuel to cross the finish line. Join our resident plant nerd, Mary Campbell to demystify basic plant nutrients and discover organic ways to boost your yield.

For your June garden

This "Mixed Herb Gremolata" is an incredibly versatile "everything sauce" that is traditionally made with parsley, but becomes extraordinary when you toss in every green herb you can find.

June Mixed Herb Gremolata

Prep time: 10 mins

Yield: Approx. 1 cup

The Herb Base (Use any and all):
1/2 cup Parsley (flat-leaf is best for flavor)
1/2 cup Cilantro (stems included for extra punch)
3–5 sprigs Mint (adds a cooling June finish)
Small handful of Chives (thinly sliced)
Optional "Garden Toss-ins": A few leaves of lemon balm, tarragon, or even arugula.

The Brighteners:
1 clove Garlic, minced to a paste with a pinch of salt
1 Lemon, both zest and juice
1/4 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Optional: 1 tbsp capers (for a salty, savory depth).

Instructions:

1. Chop the Herbs: Roughly chop all your fresh herbs. Avoid over-processing; you want a rustic, textured look rather than a smooth paste.
2. Make the Paste: Mince the garlic with a bit of salt. If using capers, mash them into the garlic to form a savory paste.
3. Combine: In a bowl, whisk together the garlic paste, lemon zest, lemon juice, and olive oil.
4. Toss: Just before serving, fold in the chopped herbs. Taste and adjust with more lemon or salt if needed.

How to Use Your June Herb Sauce:
- With the Grill : Spoon it over anything grilled right as it comes off the fire.
- Garden Potato Salad: Toss it with warm, boiled baby potatoes for a fresh take on a summer side.
- Dipping: Serve it in a small bowl alongside crusty sourdough bread.

At The Garden Company,

we believe dirt beneath fingernails is good for the soul

There's a unique May optimism in the Sierra Nevada Foothills. Ever hopeful, we watch our fickle weather, looking to Mother's Day as the traditional date for the perfect time to get out and get greening (or after May 30 above 3000 ft).

Soon the soil warms, cold temps are a memory and our sanctuary buzzes with harvest potential!

Early investment: Don't count on last year's leftovers to prime your garden, amend for a perfect start. Chicken manure, organic compost, and essential elements will reap future rewards. And amendments don't care about cold temps! At The Garden Company, we happily advise on what's best to flourish your upcoming sanctuary.

Watch the weather: If you were tempted by early spring sunshine, protect new leafy starts from cooler air. ❄️ If overnight temps drop below 40 F, tuck your babies into bed with frost blankets, burlap, or old bedsheets.

Add aromatic notes to the garden: Add parsley, sage, rosemary or thyme. If "Scarborough Fair" doesn't ring in your garden, try chives, lavender or oregano! Most herbs don't mind cold temps (but wait on leafy herbs like basil!).

Warm-Season Vegetables: Your garden is begging for its summer essentials such as tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, and squash. Get them in the ground so they can establish deep roots before the heat really arrives. 🌶️🍅

Pollinator Perennials: Add drought-tolerant favorites like salvias, yarrow, or penstemons to keep the pollinators dancing in the garden until late fall. 🐝

Mulch, Mulch, Mulch: Apply organic mulch around plants to block weeds and keep soil moist. Keep it 4-6 inches from the base of your stems. We have plenty of E.B. Stone Big Harvest to mulch away - it's good for the soil, too!

And keep out the baddies! 🪲

Guardian Care for New Starts: Watch your new growth; shoot aphids off with a blast of water or use neem oil for infestations. Keeping things organic ensures our sanctuary stays safe for the birds and bees, too.

Wishing you happy planting and the quiet satisfaction of a well-tended garden!

With gratitude for the green,
Mary Campbell @ The Garden Company
