It is time to plant your fall/winter garden. According to the Gardener's Companion for the San Joaquin Valley, September is the month to plant broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, chinese cabbage, and Kohlrabi. Plant from seeds: carrot, lettus, parsley, pea, radish and spinach. Because we still have hot weather in September, they recommend that you keep your new plantings well watered.
As far as bulbs go, now is the time to buy bulbs. We were supposed to purchase them by Labor Day, and we are supposed to plant by Thanksgiving. Tulip and hyacinth bulbs should be chilled in the refrigerator for 6-8 weeks before planting. Do not store these next to your fruit or vegies as gasses from these will promote early sprouting of your bulbs.
See above for information on berry orders.
