Re: So Cal Garden Report Feb 1 - what to plant
WOW, Chopper, my last year's summer garden didn't look that good! I guess you're getting the hang of that year round gardening stuff...good for you
what I planted
Yesterday and today I planted, walla walla onions, yellow onions, red onions, garlic, bell peppers (that I started indoors about 3 weeks ago), cucumbers, strawberrys, I also started in 3 greenhouse trays yesterday and today, tomatoes, broccoli, cabbage, artichoke, itallian peppers (3 different kinds), lettuce (romaine and butterhead), and I have these seed to plant directly in the ground. zuccuni, bok choy, butternut squash, green beans, cauliflower, green onions, spinach, cantaloupe, watermelon, and sugar snap peas. I need to check to see when I am to plant all these. this is my first time trying gardening and I went all out.I ripped out all the sod in my backyard and I built 5) 4x6 and 3) 3x6 and 1) 2'x30' and 1)3x5 boxes. I also added 1 dwarf lemon tree, 1 semi dwarf fuji apple tree. plus I have had a fig tree. I also added 3 different kinds of grapes and a pomegranate tree. keeping my fingers crossed that all this will work out. I got tried of paying outragious prices for food at the store and didnt trust the produce as most is not grown in usa at the store I shop at.

Holy Smokes! You have jumped into the deep end of the pool for your first swim!
May you have perfect weather and no bugs for your first gardening year.

Wow! Let me know how the cucumbers do. Last year I planted later in the summer and they got a lot of aphids. I am wondering if I planted earlier if I might avoid this. Keep us posted.
Sounds like you have a lot of space. Very exciting!

banana squash
I have checked the box stores and have had no luck finding banana squash seeds. I love banana squash and it cost a lot to buy at the stores so I want to try to grow it
