I love Southern California. I can't think of an easier and more accommodating place to start a garden besides Hawaii. Seasons are relative, and there are many crops I can grow year round with little to no season extending techniques. Case in point: my tomatoes ripened in one big crop in December, at the end of the month, while I was in Israel. I didn't get to eat any of them, but I did feel pretty bad ass to be growing edible tomatoes in December with no crop cover or green house involved. I planted garlic at the end of November, and covered it with about an inch of mulch to protect it over the cold, cold "winter". It started sprouting in December since it was insanely warm. It wasn't supposed to do anything until March or later.
