[medit-plants] Re: Winter crops

Hi All, 

Looks like I did send my response to the entire medit-plants list. That is good. My book, Golden Gate Gardener, is written for our region exactly, not just San Francisco, but the near-coast from Eureka to San Luis Obispo and inland to climates like Walnut Creek and San Jose. The 30th Anniversary (4th) edition has just been released and the event at Annie's Annuals is to be an East Bay acknowledgement of this event. 

In San Francisco I plant fall crops before October, as early as August or even July, to give them a head start before winter turns cold, but inland gardeners have more leeway. The planting calendars on pp. 388 and 389 tell what can still be planted inland in October. (I can also plant many of the cool season crops by about February, and again in May, but summers are mostly too hot for them inland.) Come to my Zoom talk or to a talk in the spring to hear more on year-round gardening, and/or come tomorrow and get a copy of this popular book.

Hi Sean,

Just for the record, tomorrows' talk at Annie's Annuals is titled "Dining Gloriously from your Small-space Food Garden and will be about how to eat more of what you grow year-round. Yes, there will be plenty of recipes. 

I will be giving a more general talk "Getting the Most from your Small-space Food Garden as a Zoom talk, 12-1 on Dec. 5th, for the San Francisco Public Library. 

I will be repeating tomorrows talk on October 15 and October 29, in SF. You can read my schedule on my website and on my blog. I will be doing more east bay events, not yet set up, in the spring.

Are you coming tomorrow? Say hello if you do.

Hello folks,
I happened to find this blog page while searching for ideas for winter
crops for my tiny home garden:
https://www.greenidiom.com/winter-crops.html
After reading this blog for a bit I was surprised to discover that the
author is living in Cape Town South Africa! (why don't people make
their locations more clear?).
I was pleasantly surprised and somewhat excited to be hearing from
someone so far away and being able to relate to what she was saying.
It made me think of this group!
Do any of you have favorite winter veggies that you start planting
this time of year?
