When do you start a garden in your area? Does it get too hot for a summer 
garden? I know that Bob had problems with it being too hot for tomatoes to 
set fruit. There are a lot of greens that like mild winters, like it seems 
you have...you could probably grow collards, kale, and many of the Chinese 
greens all winter. Maybe lettuce, if your winters are mild enough.
