In reply to Phoenix. Yes, the concept is applicable to Zone 9. You will have a much easier time growing year round because you don't have to contend with frost and freezing temps all winter. Check with your local extension agency or look for some local gardening clubs. They should be able to help you with the timing of most of your planting.

Is this applicable for people in zone 9? I’m a newbie to gardening. I planted a few crops last year and lost pretty much everything to snails. So I’m starting over but don’t really know what I can plant and when to plant it and a lot of the gardening info I find is for colder climates.

In reply to kitsapFG. Thanks for the comments, please continue to add your input as the series goes along. I've seen pictures of your winter garden so I know you will have a lot to add. I wish I had your mild, rainy winters, it would be a lot easier to winter garden with out 2 feet of snow!!! :)

Glad you are doing a blog series on winter growing and harvesting. I have been doing this for many years now and have learned lots of things along the way. Your point about getting them to maturity and then harvesting is often not really understood by folks when they try this for the first time. It is also not well understood that the fall growing season (going into that winter harvest) that you are dealing with a steadily decreasing sun strength and day length so the “average days to maturity” on a seed packet leads people to plant too late – as that average is based on a spring planting where sun strength and day length are increasing steadily. I always add at least two weeks to the spring planting maturity expectations for my fall plantings.
