The new 2024 Yard Posts food gardening calendar is here! I selected beautiful and honest photos from my yard and elsewhere in Southern California for each month, and I packed in lots of info on vegetables, fruit trees, and watering.
For each month, I’ve got which vegetables to sow or plant. I’ve also included when to do various tasks for different kinds of fruit trees, such as grafting and thinning fruit and pruning. And since optimal watering is so important to the health of our plants and our pocketbooks, I’ve added guidance on irrigation.
Here is a sample of the layout for the month of September:

I really like the calendar, nice photos. I can tell you really put your heart into it. It also let me know that I’m about a month late in getting my seeds started.
Hello! I just came across your post today. I live in Granda Hills, San Fernando Valley area… Was wondering if you could do some posts for people growing pomegranate, apricots and persimmons in their yards. I have chocolate persimmon planted now 6 years, my problem is that it seems to flower but very few fruit develop. With pomegranates similar, I have lots of flowers every year but with the years it seems I have significant flower drop and less fruit. With apricot, I had one year of good fruit. Now it does it even flower. Are problems for these fruits, that I need to fertilize more? Or do something different? Thank you for any assistance.
Hi Greg, thank you for the 2024 Calendar. I appreciate the monthly ‘things to do’ in the garden. Thanks for also including your card. I came across The Yard Posts this past week and it touched a chord with me because your gardening help for our part of California is so much needed and appreciated. You deserve to be supported. Happy Spring!
