I'm from Indiana, and I still enjoy watching your videos!

Thank you for this video. I’ve been searching for about two weeks on what to plant and when. Then I finally searched for California grow zone 9 and your video was first. I’m in Visalia which is a solid 9b. I’m hoping your guide can help me start growing veggies for my family. Thanks!!

I am in Redding, California in zone 9a. I am wanting to know how to improve the soil for raised beds when preparing for spring planting. So glad I found your site! Looking forward. Almost gave up.

Im in fresno ca. 1st time gardening. Im using 5 gallon food grade buckets (white) 5-7 13/16” drain holes in ea. and im using 15-20 gallon grow bags. So far i have had nothing but problems. Some i know ive caused by over watering. Others, im just not sure…. Im using buckets do to living arrangements and space. Ive been using fish emulsion as it seems to have the best/noticeable results. Im growing tomatoes, summer squash, bell peppers and cucumbers, and 1 watermelon plant…. I flat out gave up on the cucumbers, and all but 1 squash plant. Is it just a bad year to try to learn to garden with the weather???

I'm from the same area. I have been very frustrated growing tomatoes. I plant them in Early March and they are scorched by June 30th.

How about the moon 🌚 phases???? Do you respect them?? I'm Aztec and I was wondering if you follow the ties???.

Does this apply to all Zone 9b places? I'm in Portugal in a zone 9b area

[KaraD]

I'm also in Ca what they claim as zone 9b but I'm in the mountains at 4000 ft, does your collection and or book take into account 4+ feet of snow through April into may, with the possibility of snow again as early as late Oct? I've lived here for 20 years and still can't wrap my head around being classified as 9b. Thoughts? Btw I built my coop kinda based on yours, thanks for the tips!

I'm currently in 9b but will be moving to 9a here shortly. Is that difference too drastic? I'm reading everywhere that there's about a 5 degree difference in temperature. I'd love to buy your book and start gardening with the use of that, but I'm curious if I can apply those techniques and planting times to zone 9a. Thank ya in advance.

How do I find out what zone I’m in? I’m in Butte County. Oroville, CA

Oh, your guide costs QUITE a bit of money. That sucks.
