Hey Jennifer,

Having grown up in souther california, I planted turnips near summer. You could plant radish, or onion, or garlic too. Plant green beans. In the fall, after the green beans have stopped producing and are looking scraggly, pull them out and plant garlic.

Plant by mid July for fall harvest, later for spring harvest.

ROOTCROPS
Beets
Carrots
Parsnip
Rutabaga
