Try growing your own fruits and vegetables this summer! San Diego has a good climate and long growing season and even on a small scale, you can practice climate smart agriculture.
Plant tomatoes and peppers in sunny spots.
Plant lettuce and spinach in partial sun.
Grow only what your family likes to eat.
Mulch your garden to help retain water.
Use organic pest control. Many insects are beneficial to gardens. Worms are essential!
If you don’t have yard space, plant in pots. Most vegetables, strawberries and small trees like lemons grow well in pots.
Plant herbs in window garden boxes.
No yard space or space for pots? Join a community garden- sdcgn.org
