Yikes! Time to get out the Jiffy Pellets and plant some kale. February: What to plant in Northern California and Central Valley areas - Page 2 274447

Here's my pitiful indoor garden. Amaryllis on the table. Aritchoke on the right. Basil & chives in the small pots (Chessy keeps the chives chewed down to nuthin'.) Kale in the Jiffy Pellets on the bench on a heating pad. Tonight I'll look through my seeds and decide what to plant in the rest of the pellets.

We brought the citrus trees, lavender, and pineapple plants in to the living room. The grapefruit tree is in full bloom. The fragrance is intoxicating.  I love you

I'm still waiting until mid February before starting any seeds indoors.  The sweet potato slips are doing good.
I'm waiting too. Normally I would start today, but there's too much rain ahead, so I'm going to wait another week and check the 10-day forecast again. bounce
Not waiting in 2020. In fact, I'm starting early. It was supposed to rain today, but Mother Nature surprised us with a nice day, so I'll be spending it in the Plant Room (heated room for outdoor cats, behind the garage -- big, south-facing window -- mine now!).

I can't believe it's time to start getting serious about what to start indoors. Depending on location in CA, this is a good month to get out the lights, heating pads and seed trays/pots. Order any last minute seeds. Even start the sweet potato slips this month.

3's a charm. The deer got them the first time, and a hard frost got them last year, but I just can't resist, so I'll grab another one from the grocery store and start rooting.

What about regular potatoes? Is it time, yet? bounce

I'm right on schedule for once. happy turtle Planted cool weather stuff in January and either up-potted or transplanted outside this week. Now I've started my first batch of summer crops. Once they sprout, I'll get them off the heating pads and start the pollinator flowers. I'm actually having delusions of adequacy for 2020. study

I did it! I finally got all of the seeds planted for indoors. They are on the heat mats with dry cleaner bags as covers. Even the sweet potato has been cut in half and set in water. tongue I'm pooped.

For those who start seeds indoors, it's time to get them started.

Peppers take a little longer to germinate, so those should be the first seeds to get started.  Some herbs also take a little longer.  A heating mat can really help speed up with germinating the peppers.

In the San Joaquin Valley, this Master Gardener vegetable planting guide may help. https://ucanr.edu/sites/UC_Master_Gardeners/files/84716.pdf

This is the vegetable planting guide for the Sacramento Valley area. https://ucanr.edu/sites/sacmg/files/117117.pdf#:~:text=SACRAMENTO%20VEGETABLE%20PLANTING%20SCHEDULE%20JAN%20FEB%20MAR%20APR,the%20garden%20Set%20out%20plants%20or%20transplants%20P

This is the planting guide for Santa Clara and similar areas.
https://ucanr.edu/sites/mgscc2016/files/241030.pdf

For other areas of CA, Google/Bing "ucanr vegetable planting guide."  Some counties are grouped together.  University of California Agriculture and Natural Resources.
