Reporters took probing tour into country / Delaplane, Kristin [325] [ECHOS-1997-325]
In the spring of 1879, staff from the Suisun City's Solano Republican set out to explore the countryside. Their trip started with a train ride to Bridgeport, present-day Cordelia. Along the route they viewed the orchards then in bloom. Once in Bridgeport they stopped in at each of the town's business establishments.

Trial and error determined success of orchards / Goerke-Shrode, Sabine [14] [WAYITWAS-2000-14]
Orchards have been a part of Solano County's landscape for more than 150 years. Beginning with the first pioneers, settlers brought in plants, exchanged seeds and cuttings with friends and neighbors, experimented with different varieties to see how these adapted to the soil and climate, or even tried to create new strains and varieties.

Walnut orchards part of Solano since 1930s / Goerke-Shrode, Sabine [815] [WAYITWAS-2008-815]
One of my fond memories of growing up in Germany includes spending dark winter nights with my family, reading to each other while sharing a special treat - a bowl of California walnuts. My brother and I would try to shell the nuts so that the two halves of the shells remained undamaged. These half shells eventually would be used to fashion little boats, baskets, figurines and other crafts.

Pruning key to a successful harvest / Goerke-Shrode, Sabine [64] [WAYITWAS-2001-64]
Spring has finally arrived. Seeing all the fruit trees in bloom once again is truly one of the wonderful advantages of living in Solano County. My personal favorites are the peach and nectarine trees with their pink blossoms. Together with the yellow mustard growing underneath and a deep blue sky above, I always think of an impressionist painting.
