                                VEGETABLE GARDEN PLANTING GUIDE
                                     FOR SAN DIEGO COUNTY

This planting guide refers to the coastal and inland regions of San Diego County. Planting
periods for some common cool and warm season vegetables are given for a year having average
weather conditions. The beginning and end of a planting period can vary by several weeks from
year to year. Gardeners need to exercise more judgment when planting early or late in the season.
Suitable planting dates are dictated to a large extent by the amount of time a vegetable takes to
grow from seed to a harvestable size and by the vegetable’s climatic requirements. Seed packets
and catalogs give the number of days required from seed to harvest under optimum growing
conditions. The cold tolerance of some vegetables is listed below as a guide for early planting.

Hardy Vegetables: These vegetables are not injured by light frosts and the seed will germinate at
a rather low temperature. This group includes: onion sets, cabbage plants, (which have been well
hardened), kale, kohlrabi, brussel sprouts, spinach, turnip, radish, asparagus, and rhubarb.

Half-Hardy Vegetables: The seeds of this group will germinate at rather low temperatures, but
the young plants are injured by frost. This group includes: lettuce, beet, carrot, chard, parsley,
parsnip, heading broccoli, early potatoes, onion seeds, garden peas, celery plants, and cauliflower
plants.

Tender Vegetables: These vegetables are injured by the lightest frost and do not thrive at a low
temperature even though frost does not occur. These should not be planted until all danger of
frost is past. This group includes: snap bean, tomato, sweet corn, and sweet potato.

Very Tender Vegetable: These vegetables do not thrive until the soil has become warm. The seed
will rot in the ground unless the soil is warm. This group includes: eggplant, pepper, cucumber,
watermelon, muskmelon, lima bean, squash, and pumpkin.

To prepare the garden for planting, rototill or spade the soil to a depth of 8 to 12 inches, then
break up clods and rake the surface smooth. Organic compost and manures can best be
incorporated into the soil at this time. A fertilizer containing nitrogen, phosphorous and
potassium should be mixed into the soil prior to planting. If animal manures are used they should
be spread evenly over the soil to a depth of one-quarter to one-half inch deep and thoroughly
mixed into the top six inches of soil. Manures are best applied four to six weeks prior to planting
to prevent injury. Commercial fertilizers can be used alone or in combination with manures and
compost to provide adequate soil fertility. Mix commercial fertilizer into the top six inches of
soil just before planting at the rate recommended on the product label. Additional applications of
a fertilizer containing nitrogen are usually made periodically during the growing season to sustain
vigorous plant growth.

Most vegetables fall into two groups:

COOL SEASON CROPS
Food value is generally higher per pound and per acre than in warm season crops.

                        We eat a vegetative part of the plant:
                           • Root – carrot, parsnip, beet, radish, turnip

                            •   Stem – Kohlrabi, white potato

                            •   Leaf – spinach, lettuce, celery, asparagus, cabbage,
                                        onion

                            •   Immature flower parts – cauliflower, sprouting
                                broccoli, globe artichoke

Planting and harvesting time should be in the cool season.

Root depth is shallow to medium.

Storage temperature should be 32° F, except white potatoes (40° to 50° F)



WARM SEASON CROPS
Food value is generally lower per pound and per acre than in cool season crops.

                            We eat the fruit of the plant:
                               • Mature fruit – tomato,              watermelon,
                                    cantaloupe, winter squash

                                •   Immature fruit – summer squash, cucumber,
                                    snap and lima beans, sweet corn




Planting and harvesting time should be in the warm season.

Root depth is medium to deep.

Storage generally not advisable for very long periods.

(Note: Two exceptions to the above classifications are peas (a fruit, yet a cool season crop) and
sweet potatoes (a root and warm season crop).

Bioclimates are complexities of weather that differ form each other in some
characteristic of importance to plants and animals.

Subdivisions of California’s bioclimates are named for the geographic areas
with which they are most closely associated. These names are used to
designate the agricultural areas of the state.

UC San Diego Vegetable Planting Guide

  • 1. COOPERATIVE EXTENSION UNIVERSITY of CALIFORNIA – COUNTY of SAN DIEGO 4-H YOUTH & FAMILY – AGRICULTURE – HORTICULTURE – NATURAL RESOURCES – NUTRITION & CONSUMER SCIENCE ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 5555 OVERLAND AVENUE, SUITE 4101, SAN DIEGO, CA 92123 PHONE: 858-694-2845 FAX: 858-694-2849 E-MAIL: cesandiego@ucdavis.edu WEBSITE: www. cesandiego.ucdavis.edu VEGETABLE GARDEN PLANTING GUIDE FOR SAN DIEGO COUNTY Vincent Lazaneo, Farm Advisor UC Cooperative Extension This planting guide refers to the coastal and inland regions of San Diego County. Planting periods for some common cool and warm season vegetables are given for a year having average weather conditions. The beginning and end of a planting period can vary by several weeks from year to year. Gardeners need to exercise more judgment when planting early or late in the season. Suitable planting dates are dictated to a large extent by the amount of time a vegetable takes to grow from seed to a harvestable size and by the vegetable’s climatic requirements. Seed packets and catalogs give the number of days required from seed to harvest under optimum growing conditions. The cold tolerance of some vegetables is listed below as a guide for early planting. Hardy Vegetables: These vegetables are not injured by light frosts and the seed will germinate at a rather low temperature. This group includes: onion sets, cabbage plants, (which have been well hardened), kale, kohlrabi, brussel sprouts, spinach, turnip, radish, asparagus, and rhubarb. Half-Hardy Vegetables: The seeds of this group will germinate at rather low temperatures, but the young plants are injured by frost. This group includes: lettuce, beet, carrot, chard, parsley, parsnip, heading broccoli, early potatoes, onion seeds, garden peas, celery plants, and cauliflower plants. Tender Vegetables: These vegetables are injured by the lightest frost and do not thrive at a low temperature even though frost does not occur. These should not be planted until all danger of frost is past. This group includes: snap bean, tomato, sweet corn, and sweet potato. Very Tender Vegetable: These vegetables do not thrive until the soil has become warm. The seed will rot in the ground unless the soil is warm. This group includes: eggplant, pepper, cucumber, watermelon, muskmelon, lima bean, squash, and pumpkin. To prepare the garden for planting, rototill or spade the soil to a depth of 8 to 12 inches, then break up clods and rake the surface smooth. Organic compost and manures can best be incorporated into the soil at this time. A fertilizer containing nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium should be mixed into the soil prior to planting. If animal manures are used they should be spread evenly over the soil to a depth of one-quarter to one-half inch deep and thoroughly mixed into the top six inches of soil. Manures are best applied four to six weeks prior to planting to prevent injury. Commercial fertilizers can be used alone or in combination with manures and compost to provide adequate soil fertility. Mix commercial fertilizer into the top six inches of soil just before planting at the rate recommended on the product label. Additional applications of a fertilizer containing nitrogen are usually made periodically during the growing season to sustain vigorous plant growth.

  • 2. Most vegetables fall into two groups: COOL SEASON CROPS Food value is generally higher per pound and per acre than in warm season crops. We eat a vegetative part of the plant: • Root – carrot, parsnip, beet, radish, turnip • Stem – Kohlrabi, white potato • Leaf – spinach, lettuce, celery, asparagus, cabbage, onion • Immature flower parts – cauliflower, sprouting broccoli, globe artichoke Planting and harvesting time should be in the cool season. Root depth is shallow to medium. Storage temperature should be 32° F, except white potatoes (40° to 50° F) WARM SEASON CROPS Food value is generally lower per pound and per acre than in cool season crops. We eat the fruit of the plant: • Mature fruit – tomato, watermelon, cantaloupe, winter squash • Immature fruit – summer squash, cucumber, snap and lima beans, sweet corn Planting and harvesting time should be in the warm season. Root depth is medium to deep. Storage generally not advisable for very long periods. (Note: Two exceptions to the above classifications are peas (a fruit, yet a cool season crop) and sweet potatoes (a root and warm season crop).
