Zone 10
-
See that the garden receives at least an inch of water a week (from either rainfall or you).
-
If a freeze is predicted, soak the ground (not the plants), then cover everything with straw, row covers, or protective material.
-
Plant successive runs of tender, fast-growing greens, such as cilantro and chervil.
-
Harvest beans, peas, lettuce, squashes, carrots, cucumbers, early melons, and kale.
-
Continue to harvest ripening fruit; clean up unusable fruits that fall to prevent disease.
-
Continue to start tomatoes, peppers, and eggplant, but be prepared to protect tender seedlings from cold.
-
Cut back raspberries.
-
Feed roses some low-nitrogen, organic fertilizer.
-
Plant callas, gladioli, and dahlias for spring and summer bloom.
