A Year of Tours through Jacques’ Food Garden

by Greg Alder | Feb 13, 2026 | Misc | 0 comments

In 2025, I visited my friend Jacques about once a month to walk through his eclectic garden of edible plants and taste whatever was ripe. Our goal in filming these tours was to generally show the diversity of what can be grown in Southern California and specifically what can be harvested during each month.

Below are each of our tours, plus a link to my post on each tour where you can find extra information about the crops and topics.

September and October

November

December

I also made a playlist on YouTube of all of the tours here.

Welcome . . .

I'm Greg. My goal is to help you grow food at home, with a focus on vegetables and fruits -- especially avocados -- in Southern California. I write a new "Yard Post" every Friday.
