Fall/winter in Norther California

[Rymerpt]

As many of you folks already know my summer peppers are nearly non existant. I've harvested only ONE pepper this year.

I'm itchin to grow stuff.


I wanna have a fall/winter garden.

When should I start?

I kinda wanna pull the best of my pepper plants, ammend the soil, replant them, and plant other vegetables for a winter crop.

I kinda want:

Cucumbers
Green onion
Kale
Radish

WHEN SHOULD I AMEND THE SOIL AND GET GOING FOR WINTER?

I don't know when to do the stuff you are asking, but I am doing the exact same thing. This year I only harvested 4 peppers and 1 more is on the way. What an awful year this was for me. I have already started my fall/winter grow. I have a greenhouse which I will use during the cold months of the year. Sorry if this wasn't helpful at all, just wanted to let you know that you are not alone!

One pepper?? I guess I missed what happened. Late start?

I started from seed in December. In March we had a problem with rent. April and may plants in storage (one hour sun every couple days) into soil in June (lost most of them). The soil was not amended and SUCKS. Several 100+ days, much tlc, but plants were in shock. I bought a mature ghost but as of yet have onle one pepper. No blooms right now + no peppers of my own. THP has been wonderful though and I have won and been gifted a few boxes tokeep the fire going.

Do the radishes too, Ryme. I think you'll be surprised how fast they are. And I can't tell you enough, do pubes they have no problem ripening in our winter.
