Description

Discover how to grow a thriving garden in the Golden State– regardless of your experience! Wondering what you should plant this time of year? Not sure how much water different plants need to survive in your climate zone? Have you always wanted to be able to grow your own fruits and veggies, but are not sure how to start? There’s a reason why California produces 90% of American-grown Hass avocados… and ALL of the country’s broccoli, according to the USDA. Because when it comes to the best areas in the US for gardening, you won’t find anything close to the unique growing climate in the glowing Golden State. In fact, many gardening experts consider parts of California to be as rich and fertile as Mediterranean soil. Still, even seasoned gardeners can have a hard time starting a small garden — especially if you just moved in from out of state. Because as “low-maintenance” as California native plants may be… gardens in this state must overcome the all-too-common droughts, earthquakes, and other extreme weather conditions that can ruin hours of hard work and planning. Not to mention the blazing West Coast heat, which makes watering plants feel like a delicate chemistry experiment. The good news is you don’t need to play scientist to have a thriving vegetable patch of your own. All you need are the basic guiding principles for starting and maintaining a healthy garden anywhere in California. In this book, you will discover: Where to find the 14 climate zones of California and the best time to start planting for each - What recent research says about the effects of climate change on how plants grow - 12 key practices of commercial horticulture, and how they apply to gardening at home - The 9 core gardening principles that anyone can use to build a sustainable and fruitful garden - 17 warm-loving plants that flourish in Southern California - 7 tips for harvesting your crops to get the most out of your garden with minimal waste - The 5 main benefits of growing a truly organic garden - 15 non-toxic pesticide alternatives you can make yourself with ingredients from your kitchen pantry - The “golden ratio” for making this unique soil mixture that’s ideal for gardening and farming And much more! Whether you’re planning your garden in SoCal or Sacramento, this book will tell you all you need to know about which plants to grow in your area and how best to look after them. So instead of stressing out over invasive species and pesky pests, you can start growing your favorite fruits and veggies all year long.
