October Planting Guide Southern California


CARROT PLANTING STRIPS ARE A REALLY GREAT IDEA!
BEETS- Home grown are always best when it comes to flavor. The leaves from beets are an excellent source of calcium, magnesium, copper, phosphorus, sodium and have higher iron than spinach.
BROCCOLI-  CABBAGE- COLLARDS
CARROTS- Seed Tape is a great way to plant carrots… easy and simple.
LETTUCE- Grows the best in the cooler weather.
FAVAS – KALE – LEEKS – PARSLEY
RADISH- Try 'Rainbow Radish' 
SPINACHSWISS CHARD -WINTER ZUCCHINI
