Not much of a harvest. Guess they just couldn't take the heat of the summer in SoCal. Speaking of S. California, what's a good time to plant outside here? Any suggestions? All my plants from last year are in containers. And I want to germinate some more. When should they go in the ground? Last year we put them out in May, which seems a bit late for this area. March?
