Joshua Siskin offers five suggestions a week for Southern California gardeners.
, namely corn, cucumber, eggplant, green beans, lima beans, peppers, summer and winter squash, melons, okra, green onions, chives, pumpkins, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, and herbs of every description. You can, of course, also plant those vegetables that in our part of the world may be grown 12 months of the year, namely lettuces and other greens, Swiss chard, turnips, radishes, beets, and carrots.If you plant fruit trees this spring, remove any baby fruits the moment they start to grow.
Otherwise, you will have wayward-growing plants that fall over on themselves with fruit that touches the ground and rots. To be safe, no matter what sort of tomatoes you fancy, plant them in a row supported by a trellis. Hammer 8-foot stakes two feet into the ground, one on each end of the row and 10 feet apart within the row. Install hardware cloth between the stakes. Place one tomato plant every two feet. Prune most suckers, allowing two or three shoots to grow.
