There's a very similar thread, from a gardener on the Northern California coast (Mendocino County, I think), at

https://www.helpfulgardener.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=164890

Here's part of my response there:

Over the Labor Day weekend and since then, I've put in starts for kale, spinach, sugar snap peas, fava beans, arugula, chard, cabbage, cauliflower, bok choy, potatoes (this is a long shot), and rapini (broccoli raab).

I'm still planning to add radicchio, broccoli romanesco, and seeds of several more veggies (beets, carrots, parsnips, celeriac) so that I'll have some succession plants.

In 2008, I planted mache, chicory (endive), carrots, celeriac (celery root), beets, parsnips, turnips, and salsify (oyster plant). You'll no doubt find many varieties of lettuce starts at nurseries in your area; I haven't planted lettuce this go-round b/c we just don't end up eating it. Cooking greens are a more worthwhile investment of time/effort for this house.

"Southern California" encompasses about ten Sunset climate zones, some of which have a longer list than mine, and a few of which have a shorter list. You might want to look at the Sunset Western Garden Book at a nursery, hardware store, or bookstore to ascertain your climate zone. There *is* an online map at sunset.com, but it has been greatly simplified, and many of the zones, esp. on the Pacific Coast states, are flat-out wrong. The book has the correct maps.

I planted beans, zucchini, summer squash and okra. Tried beets and carrots but it's too hot still so will try again later along with some lettuce. I have a couple of "volunteer" melons that have blossoms.
