Hi Lauren:
I have actually been looking to do this for a while, but apart from a few pots of herbs I feel intimidated! Any tips for getting started?

UK Case Lady: The corn is from 3 feet to 8 feet tall.
All I did was go to OSH. and pay $3.00 per package of seeds. I planted the seeds in March and watered and weeded only. I waterd every day and weeded on the Weekends. I have harvested some corn and it is delicious, much better taste than store bought. I do not know about Fall planting. Perhaps someone out there could help. Or maybe google has info on the Fall plaanting of vegitables in Southern California.

Hi: UK Case Lady: There are lots of vegitables one can plant in Southern California now for Winter harvest.
I am going to try spinach, beets lettuce, cabbage, broccoli and potatos.

Yum, Spinach! In the past, I’ve belonged to a CSA (a good choice if you have very limited backyard space like me) and so I got different seasonal veggies every month, but I never tried growing my own. I LOVE beets and spinach though so I may have to give it a shot this winter. Thanks!

I’ve got to get my sister on here, we are still eating zucchini and tomatoes from her last harvest. I hope she grows beets again this fall. There is just something amazing about fresh fried beets!

And the neighbors have a garden on the other side of the fence from ours with corn topping the fence making the yard look really cool.

I just noticed that you love beets to UK Case Lady. I should really read all of the comments before I jump in…
