December Plant: Poinsettia
For those of us Southern California dwellers who are LUCKY enough to live in this sunny winter climate, beach activities all year-long and a wide variety of gardening: here is our December planting guide.
VEGGIES = BEETS- BROCCOLI- BRUSSEL SPROUTS- CABBAGE- CARROTS- CAULIFLOWER- CELERY- COLLARDS- ENDIVE- FAVAS- KALE- LEEKS- LETTUCE- MUSTARD- ONIONS- PARSLEY- PARSNIP- RADISH-RUTABAGA- SPINACH- SWISS CHARD- TURNIPS

Now get out there and plant SOMETHING. I know there is at least one vegetable or herb listed here that you can plant in a container outside your abode where there is sunshine 6 hours a day. I promise you will not be disappointed and once you grow your own you are well on your way to being called a green thumb, or an herb connoisseur!

Who carries heirloom seeds in san diego? Downtown area- not interested in online shopping.
Most of the independent garden stores throughout San Diego will have Heirloom seeds. Wise choice, I have had great luck with my heirloom varieties.
