http://www.yourgardenshow.com/users/MontereyCommunityGardenGal/monterey-eco-community-garden

it's a pretty useful site and it's free.  You can look up plants, see other gardens, check out the almanac, etc.

There's a section where you tell them your USDA hardiness zone and ours is 9b.

Here are a few tips from the 9b August almanac:

Seed starting for those plants which need a long, warm growing season: Gain time by soaking all but the tiniest seeds. A simple method: scatter the seeds on a damp paper towel, roll it up, put it in a plastic bag. Unroll daily to see if dormancy has broken.


Summer's here and the time is right for planting warm weather veggies: corn, beans, peppers, eggplant, tomatoes, squash, and pumpkins. Get these in the ground ASAP.  You can also plant broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage and Brussels sprouts now to harvest next winter.


Pick fruit and veggies the minute they're ripe.
