Mustard Season

The grey of February turns to sunny yellow when the mustard blooms in Napa Valley. Though not indigenous to the area, mustard is a beneficial vineyard cover crop that helps to control erosion, suppress pests and diseases and provides compost when plowed under. The bloom is peaking now. Alston Park is currently full of blooms!" Where's your favorite place to view the mustard bloom? Post a picture and tag us @napaparksandrec.

They are aerating several park turf areas to allow more air, moisture and nutrients into the grass roots and avoid compaction which will bring back greener healthier grass.
