RE: Garden Project for Nate’s Contest
Hey, @mariannewest.
Looks like things are coming along. Is this like a second growing season for you folks? That would be great if we had another one up here. I haven't tried raising things in a greenhouse, but that's not likely to happen anyway. We'd probably end up moving somewhere with more than one growing season before we put together a greenhouse.
So, what kinds of vegetables grow well during this part of the year?
Yes, winter is a great time to grow in Southern Ca. pretty much all the cabbage family, all greens and such do very well in the winter. Herbs like cilantro do great. Potatoes, carrots, beets all grow well, so do peas.
Summer is more for tomatoes, eggplant, squashes of all kinds and such. It really is great here for having a garden - besides the fact that there is always garden work to do and not so much winter downtime like in the colder climates :)
