The Bret Harte High girls basketball team defeated Linden 56-40 Tuesday night in Angels Camp to put the finishing touches on a regular season that included 23 wins, two tournament titles and its first outright Mother Lode League championship since 2005.

But a day later, the Bullfrogs couldnt help but feel a little disrespected when they were announced as the No. 6 seed for the Sac-Joaquin Section Division IV playoffs, the lowest seeding for a MLL championship team in at least 10 years.

Bret Harte (23-4) will host No. 11 Los Banos (18-10) in a first-round playoff game at 7 p.m. Tuesday night in Angels Camp. If the Bullfrogs win, they will hit the road for Thursdays second round.

Were really happy to be playing at home for our first playoff game, Bret Harte coach Ronnie Davis said.

Having said that, we feel we were under-seeded and didnt get rewarded for the season we had. We have the second best record in the section andwere aleague champion and were over-seeded bya second place team with a 16-6 record (No. 2 West Campus) and a thirdplace team with a 16-10 record (No. 3 Colfax). Wehave no control overthe seeding so nowwell start preparing for tournament basketball.

Calaveras lost its regular season finale 47-32 to Argonaut Tuesday night at home and finished third in the MLL. Megan Walters had 10 points and 12 rebounds for Calaveras on Senior Night, while fellow senior Kelly Airola had eight points, six rebounds and five steals.

Two years removed from a section title, the Redskins

(17-11) received the No. 9 seed for the Division IV playoffs and will travel to Citrus Heights to face No. 8 San Juan (17-9) Tuesday with the winner advancing to face top-seeded Bear River of Grass Valley Thursday in the quarterfinals.

Kelsey Switzer scored 23 points, and Jessie Evans and Sami Seider scored 12 each to lead Bret Harte against Linden.

These waning days of winter make it a wonderful time to begin planting an edible landscape. Consider the existing trees, shrubs and ground covers in your yard and make note. Perhaps some of them can be replaced with plants that will provide food. As a bonus, many landscape edibles not only provide food for humans, but also provide nectar and pollen for important pollinators like bees, hover flies and butterflies. Here are a few ideas:

REMOVE THE LAWN -- The easiest way to get rid of lawn is to rent a sod cutter to remove the grass. A sod cutter is like a large, gas-powered lawn mower except it slices horizontally into the sod. It is quick and efficient. The 1-foot-wide strips, about 1/2 to 1-inch thick, can be rolled up like carpet and taken to the compost pile. Once strips are removed you can till in compost, manures and other soil building materials.

SHEET COMPOST -- No time or energy to cut sod? Try sheet composting. This involves mowing a grassy area as low as possible. Then add a thick layer of newspaper or cardboard as mulch. Next layer on the goodies: first rice straw, then composted manures, compost, shredded leaves, used potting soil. Keep layering on until bed is 18 inches high. Let it rest for six months to a year, then plant.

EDIBLE SHRUBS -- Blueberry bushes cannot be rivaled when it comes to landscaping with edible shrubs. They provide tasty fruit and have visual interest all year long. Huckleberries, bush-type rosemary, such as 'Tuscan Blue,' and artichokes also make good shrub material.

GROUND COVER -- Strawberries make the best ground cover. Traditional large-fruiting varieties, as well as alpine and wild strawberries, are available at local nurseries. There are many types of ground cover rosemary available, also.

FRUIT TREES -- Fruit trees are plentiful at the nurseries now, as bare-root time is here. Apple, cherry, plum and pear all will provide flowers, fruit and plenty of shade. Since most are dwarf and semi-dwarf, these trees will not overpower the yard.

DON'T FORGET COLOR -- There are so many colorful leaf lettuces available these days. A colorful mixture can make a wonderful border or fill a container. Bright yellow, red and orange chards are stunning in containers. A large container full of 'Bright Lights' chard is eye catching and tasty, too.
