Suz, thank you for bumping.

I noticed potatoes tubers can be planted now for Zone 8B. I thought they were to be planted in the spring as soon as soil can be worked. Anyone in CA or elsewhere planting tubers? I think radishes can be resowed now as earlier sowed radishes are harvested.

Today I planted Parisienne carrots, one Super Sweet 100s, and globe radishes inside. Now I need to find room outside for the Rat Tails. Cool

This is what I received from Gardenate for Zone 9a. Comparing it with what PNG Grandma originally posted in November 2012, it is basically the same with a few differences: carrot, celery, kale, potato tubers. Micro-climates may vary throughout this Forum Region.

Beetroot/Beets Plant in garden. Harvest from March.
Broccoli Plant in garden. Harvest from March.
Cabbage Plant in garden. Harvest from April.
Carrot Plant in garden. Harvest from April.
Celery Start undercover in seed trays and plant out in 4-6 weeks. Harvest from May.
Chicory/ Witloof/ Belgian endive Plant in garden. Harvest from May.

The November sowing and planting guides for Zone 9A and Zone 9B are listed in the previous reply above. Because some of you are in Zone 9B, I have included the planting guide for your zone.

Note: The Master Gardeners planting guide for the Central (San Joaquin) Valley shows February and August as the 2 months for planting potatoes. I assume that is true for both seed potatoes and chits.
