zone 9b-ers: When are you starting veggie seeds indoors?
Comments (17)This is an email I sent to a neighbor who was asking the same questions: A good book to get is A Gardener's Companion for the San Joaquin Valley; it is published by the Master Gardens of Fresno County.

Comments (29)Mary, I was at Home Depot just last weekend, and they had several pots of Iceberg. This was mid-peninsula. It might be worth calling around. I was also at Regan's last Saturday and they had a lot of roses - it was the first day of their half-off sale. I don't recall seeing icebergs but I wasn't looking for them in particular.

BUT I magnified the photo and noticed the black eyed pea next to it has a bitten leaf!!...See MoreCan I start cherry tomatoes from seed now in zone 9B?
Comments (4)I have no idea! I am a new transplant from the northeast:). But, yes, I've heard about winter crops. I was reading about that yesterday, actually. The article mentioned late July as the latest for a winter crop. I'll give it a try and see what happens. Will have to outsmart the squirrels (currently very interested in my petunias) and the many, many birds that visit the coast oak grove out back. There are several crows who have taken up residency. I'm sure they'll love to dine on cherry tommies....See Morestanofh 10a Hayward,Ca S.F. bay area
