I t’s airy and idyllic now, but five years ago, this 1910 farmhouse was—well—downright dirty. When Christopher and Lisi Dean and their three children first laid eyes on it, the rickety 2,023-square-foot house had low ceilings, a maze of wood-paneled rooms, and a strange smell. (There were also rumors of some illicit goings-on under the previous owners.) The piles of trash left inside had been cleared away, but the signs of neglect had not. In short, this wasn’t the sort of place that inspires breathless sign-on-the-dotted-line love. Lisi hesitated at committing to the overhaul the home would need, but Chris, the offspring of architects, wasn’t deterred. “I grew up knocking downwalls and I love it,” he says. “I knewthe place had potential.” The San Francisco–based couple— he’s the CEO of…

PLANT While major planting projects should wait for fall’s rains and cooler temperatures, fill in empty spots in beds with summer color. To increase beneficial insects, try calendulas, cosmos, salvias, and sweet alyssum. Plant carrots, corn, and green beans from seed. For carrots, make sure soil is loose, well tilled, and free of rocks. MAINTAIN During hot weather, check container plants frequently to make sure they aren’t drying out; they may need water daily. Trees also need regular, deep watering every few weeks— even some natives, such as coast redwoods, can look very scraggly without irrigation. A notable exception? Many kinds of native oaks resent summer water. HARVEST Pick green beans every few days to keep the plant producing. Shelly beans, such as cranberry or kidney beans, should be picked…

Summer picnics in the park call for a bounteous cheese board. We’re grabbing our goods from the new Fisher’s Cheese + Wine, where owner Kiri Fisher (who also runs the Cheese School of San Francisco) stocks a food-lover’s spread of gourmet fare to go. “We want to be a destination, not an errand,” says Fisher of the space at Marin Country Mart in Larkspur, California. As for the wanderlust-worthy selection she curated for us here? “In warm weather, I gravitate toward lighter, more acidic fresh cheeses, which excite the palate without being too filling,” she says. Think of it as a virtual vacation for your mouth. All products available at Fisher’s Cheese + Wine (fisherscheese.com). 1.

ARTIST ISA CATTO has a hard time staying focused in summer. She should be in her studio, painting watercolors, but she only wants to be “out in the garden, ogling seedlings,” she says. “I used to freak out about it, until I decided to count it as my studio practice—it’s professional development.” There’s every reason for her to bolt outdoors during the summer months in Woody Creek, Colorado. That’s when large swaths of lupines and poppies burst into bloom in Catto’s garden, for a landscape that looks like it’s been painted in brushstrokes. It’s a scene that was almost impossible for Catto to imagine when she moved onto the property after relocating from Manhattan with her husband and child in 2004. Back then, the property was 17 acres of wild,…

“Remembering her dog’s love of the beach, this designer came up with a win in the garden.” In a perfect world, dogs and gardens would coexist in peace. But as Bainbridge Island–based landscape designer Tish Treherne says, “Dogs dig digging!” and can uproot a planting bed in no time at all. Her solution: a 16-inch-deep “dig box” of coarse beachlike sand framed with simple lumber where Owen, her miniature Australian shepherd, can dig freely. To train him, Treherne buried toys in the sand to get Owen interested; it quickly became his go-to area in the garden. She also ensures the surrounding plants are nontoxic to dogs, even if that means losing a raspberry or two to a furry companion. DESIGN: Tish Treherne, Bliss Garden Design (blissgardendesign.com).

W ine fads come, and wine fads go. I remember as if it were yesterday a colleague saying, “Hey, I’m interested in this Merlot I’ve been hearing about!” (That was about 25 years ago, and we all know how that turned out.) One California wine, though, has survived the crushing vicissitudes of history: It’s Zinfandel, and it’s having a new, and notable, moment as one of the state’s most interesting reds. Zin’s reign as California’s cornerstone variety goes back to the late 1800s, when it commanded a majority of our vineyard territory, often interplanted with other varieties to create field blends. Come the 1920s, when Prohibition wreaked havoc on the industry, Zin held its own as the grape of choice to be shipped east for legal home winemaking. And in the…

I’D set out that morning from Santa Cruz, California, with big intentions: Drive 245 miles to a lush campground north of Mendocino, whip up a healthy meal on the stove of the 1988 Volkswagen Vanagon I’d rented, and fall asleep to the sound of the ocean. Instead, I was parked in the driveway of my friend Holly’s house in Healdsburg, 100 miles shy of my destination, like a 10-year-old who tries to run away from home but ends up pitching a tent in the backyard. I like to think of myself as a perfectly capable solo driver and group camper, but this combo of roughing it on my own during a long road trip had me at a loss. Holly poured me a glass of wine and said everything would work…

PERFECT DAY Only 15 miles from the western boundary of Yosemite, the town of Sonora has long been a favorite pit stop for nature tourists on their way to and from the iconic national park. But in the past few years, locals have aimed to change Sonora from a drive-thru into a drive-to destination, and this year they hit the mother lode. With a burgeoning dining scene serving up Japanese noodles and third-wave coffee, an expanding trail system, and a distillery churning out organic seasonal ciders, Half Dome’s neighbor is finally coming into its own. But this Gold Country gem is still relatively undiscovered, so plan your trip now, before every urbanite heads for its hills. 9 A.M. Start with coffee and a light breakfast at Sonora’s newest cafe ,…

THE FOURTH OF JULY may be Independence Day across the country, but in the West, it’s also known as “Cowboy Christmas.” Historically, it was a rare day off for ranch hands, who would spill into town to show off their speed and strength by wrestling steers, roping calves, and riding bulls and broncos. What followed was an all-night birthday party for Uncle Sam. Today, the cowboy life lives on in rodeos, where millions of fans sit on the edge of their bleacher seats to watch roughstock athletes trying to hang on to bucking steeds, one hand in the air, for eight seconds. But you don’t have to be a longtime fan to get in on the action: Beyond the nail-biting competitions is a family-friendly scene that has a distinct statefair…
