Time to Get Your Garden Ready – Tips for Planting in Lake Tahoe

As the snow begins to melt on Peavine Mountain, it’s time to start thinking about planting your garden. Gardening in Lake Tahoe can be challenging due to the high altitude and short growing season, but with the right tips and tricks, you can have a successful garden.

First, start by selecting plants that are suitable for the Tahoe climate. Choose plants that can withstand the cold temperatures and shorter growing season. Some popular options include lettuce, spinach, kale, and herbs such as basil and thyme.

Next, prepare your soil by adding compost and other organic materials to improve drainage and fertility. The soil in Tahoe can be rocky and nutrient-poor, so it’s important to give your plants a good foundation.

Finally, watch the weather closely and be prepared for sudden temperature changes. Protect your plants from frost and wind by covering them with blankets or burlap sacks, and make sure to water them regularly.

With these tips in mind, you can have a beautiful and productive garden in Lake Tahoe. Happy planting!
