Our raised bed garden in Southern California. Today is the first day of Fall, September 22, 2012 and I couldn't wait any longer to get my seeds planted. We started with 3 raised planters and have now expanded with a 3 foot by 50 foot in-ground plot. We are growing broccoli, cabbage, carrots, onions, salad mixes, lettuce, romaine, and spinach with seeds from MyPatriotSupply.com. Here is a tour of the garden and some tips for growing in our unique climate.

nice setup you got there.

Hi what going on this year with your planting,Im in S.california and im ready, but i dont know what toplant.

Thanks for sharing! This video was very helpful and is motivating me further to get my garden started!

A good ideal when sowing your seeds is to take your ruler on its side and push down into the dirt and push to the left and then to the right, this will leave a little trench to put your seeds and then just back fill to the correct depth. Hopefully you are using organic seeds and soil, much better all around. Also living in Inland So. Cal. make sure after plants are a couple of inches tall add a layer of bark or anything similar to protect the soil and retain moisture. Great garden, Good Luck.

Nice and neat I too live in So.Cal. (Long Beach area) I'm getting ready for the fall garden . Carrots radish spinach onions, I am also using the raised bed , I like the irrigation system you set up good luck, the weather right now is no joke its hot here in the L.B. area good luck
