Fall Gardening in Southern California

Gardeners in sunny Southern California can always plant vegetables and flowers in September and October for their fall and winter enjoyment. Most gardeners in the mid section and northern states are finishing up with their gardens for the year and are getting ready for the winter frost.

We need to prepare our soil by removing all annuals, till the soil and add plenty of compost or organic mix. If we wait a couple of weeks before planting we will give the weeds time to germinate, thus removing them while they are small will be easier than waiting until later. At the end of September, we can start planting our fall and winter flower gardens. In September our nights are usually cool and the days can be warm to hot, especially when the autumn Santa Ana winds start blowing. In the sunny areas we can plant delphiniums, larkspur, pansies, snapdragon, and Iceland Poppy; the shady areas can take daisies and primrose.  

Now is also the time of the year when our perennials start losing their vividness. We need to remove all the old summer flowers and to trim back the overpowering growth of the plants. We can also plant some wildflowers by gently raking the soil, spread some seed, and lightly cover the seed with soil. Once the rains come to Southern California, these seeds will start germinating.

We need to start planting our spring flowering bulbs now. We need to purchase the bulbs as soon as we see them in our nurseries, and home and garden centers. The bulbs need to be fairly heavy for their size and firm when squeezed, if we aren't going to plant immediately, store them in a cool dry place until ready. Now is the best time for planting daffodils, hyacinths and tulips.

When our summer vegetables are no longer giving us a good crop, which is usually late in September or October, we need to remove them and plant new vegetable plants that will continue to produce through the winter. Some of these vegetables are broccoli, cabbage, lettuce, and peas.

The Santa Ana winds that we get can produce chaos to our newly planted garden. The winds will draw out the water from the leaves and the shallow root system cannot replace it as fast as the winds take it. If we don't provide enough water, the winds can destroy our garden in just a few days. Once the winds pick up we need to quickly get the garden hose and give our precious plants the needed moisture.

Sometimes fall gardening in Southern California can be pretty tricky, but as long as we keep on top of the wind conditions we should be just fine. Having a winter vegetable garden is fun for the entire family.
