New Recipe Site

Hello fellow gardeners - We have added a section, actually a sister site, for recipes that can be prepared using produce from your garden. We will focus on posting recipes that have ingredients that are more easily grown in Livermore's climate so you can incorporate your garden's produce.

How can you discover what's best to grow in Livermore? First, you can go to the Contra Costa Times "Our Garden" section to get useful information on what to plant and when (see the previous blog post). Also, you may know that Livermore is located in Sunset Magazine Climate Zone 14. Sunset has a site where you can quickly search for flowers and plants to grow: Sunset Planter Finder site. A list of vegetables that Sunset recommends for Zone 14 is here.

Please visit the recipe site by going to http://4thstreetgarden-recipes.blogspot.com/ There's a link from this site to the recipe site on the right side of the page, and a link from the recipe site back here, so hopefully it won't be hard to navigate between the two sites. Happy cooking!
