A couple years ago I was blessed to receive a gardening book specific to Southern California and arranged in monthly chapters so that you know what to do each month without flipping all over the place and making your own list - it even has a check list at the back! I love it! Although at our old home we had very little and I had basically memorized what to do when. So the book got forgotten, unfortunately.
However, this weekend it was pulled back out as I started asking if I could plant a winter garden in this region. Not that I have the time or energy to do so, I was more curious.
It turns out that we can plant a whole host of things including: broccoli, cabbage, cilantro, garlic, carrots, potatoes, and that our tomatoes will go for a while longer!
I was thrilled - so I planted garlic and cilantro and called it done for this year!
I will let you know how it goes!
Can you plant a winter garden where you are? Where are you and what do you plant?

Central Indiana...we're still going strong with tomatoes--evenltos of new flowers! But, our late season garden planting time is in mid to late July and our gardens here are done in for good by THanksgiving--and that's if you are an expert gardener and know how to really mulch and cover etc.
Yeah for yummy cilantro and garlic through the winter!
