A Kitchen Garden
Ideas
Fresh herbs, fruits and vegetables, picked
at the peak of ripeness and exploding with
flavor, will take your cooking to a whole
new level. You can go organic, too, by using
compost instead of chemical fertilizers. The
best part is that San Diego's Mediterranean
climate allows year-round growing.
Best Location
A spot close to your kitchen with six to
eight hours of sun a day.
Best Soil
Add 50 percent compost.
Best Irrigation
Drip
Best Time to Plant
Cool-season vegetables – fall or early winter
Warm-season vegetables – spring or
early summer
Fruit Trees Come in Three Sizes
If you want to fit two, three or more trees on to the average residential lot, the semi-dwarf's
smaller diameter is a real advantage.
