The Timber Press Guide to Vegetable Gardening in Southern California

This Timber Press Guide features an A–Z section that profiles the 50 vegetables, fruits, and herbs that grow best in Southern California and provides basic care and maintenance for each.

There is nothing more regionally specific than vegetable gardening—what to plant, when to plant it, and when to harvest are decisions based on climate, weather, and first frost. The Timber Press Guide to Vegetable Gardening in Southern California, by regional expert Geri Miller, focuses on the unique eccentricities of California’s gardening calendar, which include extreme temperatures and low rainfall. The month-by-month format makes it perfect for beginners and accessible to everyone—gardeners can start gardening the month they pick it up.
