More Information Getting started Planting Preparing plants for winter If you live west of the Cascades, there's a good chance you can garden almost year-round with a little extra effort. Many cool-season crops produce well in the fall and even hold through the winter if protected. Good crops for fall and winter gardens include salad greens, cabbage, broccoli, kale, Brussels sprouts, carrots, leeks, beets, turnips, scallions, parsley, cilantro, spinach, and parsnips. You can plant these vegetables in mid- to late summer after you harvest spring crops and space is available. The first key to a successful fall and winter garden is location. Good drainage is essential, and raised beds are best. If your soil doesn't drain well, amend it with organic matter such as compost. (See story on improving soil Don't plant in a spot that is prone to early frost (for example, at the bottom of a hill) or exposed to the wind. Look for an area that gets as much sun as possible during winter. A south-facing slope is ideal.

He lives near Portland, where he farms, writes, and teaches writing at Clackamas Community College. He is the recipient of an Oregon Literary Fellowship in literary nonfiction and has published fiction, essays, and articles in Writers' Forum, The Oregonian, and New Mobility magazine. At the age of twentynine, I finally left the San Joaquin Valley and moved north to Oregon, to a land where crops in blocks of tens of thousands of acres no longer dominated the landscape. From a jet you could look down and see the true character of the land. Rivers, fed by creeks and streams which carved the ground into unusual shapes, flowed down from mountains. Gone was the checkerboard quilt of greens, yellows, and browns that covered the valley floor of California. Oregon land west of the Cascades resembled a jigsaw puzzle, the kind where fine variations in green make it difficult to distinguish one piece from another. East of the Cascades was dry and vast by comparison. I settled first in the Rogue Valley in Southern Oregon, west of the Cascades, and the first thing I did after unpacking my things was plop down in the brownishred soil outside my rural apartment and work my hands in the dirt. It was April of 1974, time to get my first garden going. I scooted around on my butt, childlike, digging with a shorthandled shovel, breaking up clods with my bare hands. Days later I had fashioned a gardensized farm, complete with beds, furrows, and irrigation ditches.

Extractions: Can Gardening Cause Water Contamination? We generally view gardening as a wholesome activity that enhances our environment. But pesticides, fertilizers, and erosion from gardens and landscapes can contaminate lakes, streams, rivers, the ocean, and groundwater. Since the quality of our water resources affects our quality of life, we must learn how our gardening practices can contribute to water contamination and what we can do to reduce the threat to water quality. We have long been aware of contamination from point sources such as factories and municipal sewage systems. Recently, we have become more aware of the threat of nonpoint-source contamination. Many relatively small, widespread sources create contamination. Each source by itself may seem insignificant; however, when the sources are added together they can pose a serious threat. Hundreds of thousands of homes in Washington State have gardens. Each garden may contribute a relatively small amount of runoff containing soil, chemicals, and fertilizers that flows into our lakes, rivers, and bays (surface water). Nitrates (formed from fertilizers and manures) or certain pesticides that leach through the soil can contaminate groundwater. Added up, the small contributions form a sizable problem. Only when individuals take responsibility and make wise choices can we control nonpoint contamination.
