Tips for Year-Round Success in Your Zone 9 California Garden

Thanks for sharing your Zone. So many YT gardeners don’t say or put their zone for folks to find. I’m zone 9b Inland Empire area. I’ve been using Permaculture techniques for 14 yrs in this small 1/4 acre home we bought 16 yrs ago. I look forward to picking up any tips you may have.

Hi Audrey, I'm a backyard gardener in Ripon CA. I moved here 9 years ago from the Pacific Northwest and have loved your wealth of gardening knowledge in our unique climate! Thank you so much!

Fresno! So glad to find you !

Happy to have stumbled onto your channel. Fresno gal here! So many YouTube channels are no where near our area and while they are interesting I can’t relate to their garden experience much. Thanks for sharing!

This summer has been brutal. Zone 9b rural northern yolo county here. Good luck to all. Let’s get after it

Hi gardening in Ukiah, and dealing with the triple digit weather. Added 40% shade cloth to save my wilting plants!

Hi Audrey, I’m in Livingston Ca. We talked before but I’m on here again and it’s HOT 🥵. We grow in ground and in large water trough as well as buckets, grow bags and totes. We have gopher pressure so this way we get to eat some too. We are almond farmers, then we have some fruit trees as well. I love to inter plant flowers and herbs with the veggies. Thanks for your help!!! 😊

Thanks Audrey, great info. I am here is Central Ca. Coarsegold, so a little above the valley. I am doing all container gardening as I live in an RV park but we have plenty of space for an RV park. I currently have over 60 varieties of plants including blueberry, black berry and raspberry's. I'm just harvesting my first crop of black berries and just finished harvesting the first raspberries. I want to help other gardeners that are in a similar environment to be able to grow efficiently and conserve water as all my plantings are on a wick system, I have developed a gravity fed watering system as well because we do travel and on occasion the park has either power or water outages and in the 95+ heat plants don't usually survive. You have inspired me to keep moving forward. Thanks

Thanks, I subscribed as soon as I saw this. Been gardening in 9b Sacramento since 1986. Mostly tomatoes and basil and companion crops until I retired 5 years ago. Thats when I branched out, so to speak, and now grow many edibles year round. looking forward to seeing more videos from you. Thanks.

Concord, ca here! Zone 9B Excited about this channel!

In Wildomar CA. Just sent for your planner 😊 because this has been the craziest 😳 weather I've ever experienced for planting times😅

Zone 9 so California, Beaumont. Thank you for your chanel

Thanks Audrey for all the good info. I'm in Hanford. I have limited space so everything is raised beds and containers.

Subscribed! I’m in Yucca Valley, CA, (high desert zone 9A). Growing mainly potted herbs and in-ground fruit trees, plus some flowers and tomatoes. It’s supposed to hit 111° here this weekend (in July). Springs are windy, winters often bring a few inches of snow at some point. But I’ve noticed that anything that’s mentioned in the Bible thrives here, with enough water!

Hello Audry, I now live on Phillip Island - a few hours outside of Melbourne, Australia. I grew up gardening in Ohio and then married a wonderful Australian man. We raised our daughter mostly in Michigan. I'm having to learn how to garden in a temperate climate here on Phillip Island. My understanding is that it is similar to the US zone 9. Thanks for explaining about warm and cool weather plantings.

Hi Audrey. I tell my friends and family that homegrown vegetables taste better than store bought. My wife and I are starting to can most of our tomatoes and homemade salsa.

Hi Audrey! Concord CA here. Zone 9b, which means we have less chance of frost than zone 9. It works! I'm so glad I found you. So many otherwise beautiful YT gardening channels don't tell you clearly where they're from which is not helpful. I already have enjoyed some of your videos. I look forward to learning from the rest. Long time gardener, but can always learn more. THANK YOU!🍅🥕🍆

Shout out from Modesto, California! I’m so glad to have found you and love your positivity of our beautiful CA ☀️☀️☀️ I’ve subscribed! 👍

I'm zone 9 also but much further south. I believe I'm 9B which shows even in the zones there is variation. Great Channel

Fiddletown / Volcano Area. 22 orchard trees and 20 raised beds in a 2700’ ft garden. 😊
