Zone 10 - What to Plant in November

November is here and the growing season is here for zone 10 gardeners. The hot and humid days of summer are behind us and we can start growing the garden. Now is a great time to start and grow all of the items we have below. Some should be started inside and others should be directly sowed into the garden.

Dating back to the 1800s, Hailstone is a classic heirloom radish prized for its exceptionally fast maturity. This variety produces small, round, snow-white roots that resemble tiny hailstones, with compact tops and slender taproots that make it ideal for close spacing. The crisp 1–1½ inch globes offer a bright, tangy flavor with a pleasant pungency, and the firm white flesh stays fresh and appealing longer than many other radishes. Hailstone performs best when planted very early in spring in a sunny, well-prepared bed enriched with organic matter. For a steady supply, sow seeds every two weeks and harvest before hot summer weather, which can affect flavor and texture.
