Sacramento's climate is perfect for
growing a wide variety of fruits, nuts, vegetables, and herbs. What's
key is understanding that we have two main growing seasons— warm and
cool. Warm-season crops include things like
tomatoes, beans, basil and peppers. Cool-season
crops include things like lettuce, radishes and spinach. Some
edibles, like asparagus and many herbs, persist year after year as
perennial crops.
Sacramento's long growing season (240+
days) gives us two major vegetable planting
periods— spring and fall.
As you'll see from the calendar below, however, there's actually
something edible to plant every month of the
year. In late winter to early spring, you'll generally plant
warm-season vegetables like tomatoes, melons, corn and beans. By mid
to late summer, you'll be knocking on neighbors' doors with surplus
veggies.
By late summer to early fall, our second,
cool-season crop goes in the ground. Successive
plantings, selecting "bolt-" or heat-resistant and cold-resistant
varieties, cold frames and varying degrees of shade all allow
you to push the planting calendar. Ambitious gardeners can start
vegetables from seed. Convenience-driven gardeners can wait for small,
ready-to-plant vegetable seedlings to show up in nurseries.
Procrastinators should look for gallon-size veggies and herbs later in
the planting season.
When it comes to
deciduous fruit and nut trees, shrubs and vines, the
winter dormant season is a good time to
plant bare-root nursery offerings. Wait
until spring to plant
citrus and other subtropical fruits.
Some of my favorite edible gardening
books are from Sunset Publishing. Sunset
writers and editors understand the particulars of gardening in the
West, and they understand that gardening in Sacramento is very, very
different from gardening in, say, San Francisco. I also like anything
that comes from
UC ANR (University of California, Agriculture and Natural Resources),
and edible landscaping pioneer Rosalind Creasy's books are a colorful
delight.
Beginning gardeners, try easy-to-grow
edibles like beans, Swiss chard, radishes, tomatoes, sunflowers,
squash and melons. And if you stick to the planting calendar, you'll
have less work, less heartache and greater chances of success. Oh, and
don't forget about edible flowers; Nasturtiums and violas are super
easy and fun to grow! Nasturtiums will even reward you by coming back
on their own each year.

variety, but tough skin. Nice compact plant." Great for small
spaces. Better Boy: "Similar to Early Girl, but hasn't got the depth
of flavor. Very productive." Very heavy fruit set on large vines
makes it a great one for sauce production. Celebrity: "Very reliable
producer. Excellent for slicing. Moderate size plants. FAVORITE
TOMATO #2!" Champion: Very good flavor, large vine, large fruit,
very productive. The largest-fruited type that produces reliably
here. Early Girl: "FAVORITE TOMATO #1!" This one routinely wins
taste tests in California, and produces reliably from early summer

on compact plants which don't need staking. Great flavor, even used
fresh. Very reliable. FAVORITE #3!" The best for sauce. Cherry,

plant. SunGold: "YUMMM! My favorite cherry tomato. Dries into candy.
Everyone should grow it!" One of the best tomatoes ever. Sweet 100:
