Herb growing should be pretty easy as these are often the easiest plant to grow and plenty of garden centres will sell these pre-grown for a cheap price (well they do in the UK so I’d hope they do in California!).

Of course, your climate is a bit different to ours so you may need to check out a californian growing guide, or have a look in a local garden centre to see what they’ve got an abundance of, check their seed packs etc. and see what that suggests for planting times. However I’d imagine that you can at least get some basic salad going once you arrive at your new home, or even where you are now. I’ve mentioned about Lettuce, Radish and Spring Onion on the second post, all of which I’ll be growing throughout the summer in pots here.

You may also be able to buy tomato plants pre-grown from the local garden centre either now or soon, and with your summery weather probably lasting a lot longer than ours, planting these out into a grow bag in July will probably be okay, especially if you re-pot the plants into larger pots before then. To be honest, you can grown tomatoes in a tiny little tub, you just won’t get as many as when you put them in a grow bag.

The next post will do out a list of plants and when to sow and reap them. Of course, it’s only an estimate guide but hopefully the typical weather guide at the same time will help you
