i luv veggies i never been in socal before but i am guessing the temps are like here so some of my recommendations are, tomatoes, squash, strawberries (perennial or seasonal) , if you don't wanna do to much work you can try onion bulbs garlic, or if you got space some passion fruit vines they require very little water and luv and they have medical uses s well(vegetation and flower) and the fruit is awsome

I've grown potatoes, onions, garlic, peanuts, radishes, beets, carrots, lettuce, cabbage, spinach, cauliflower, broccoli, cucumbers, dill, crook-neck squash, zucchini, spaghetti squash, butternut squash, pinto beans, green beans, snap peas, jalapenos, Hatch green chili, celery, corn, honeydew, casabas, watermelon, cantaloupe, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, mint, thyme, rosemary, parsley, cilantro, basil, annnnd... I know I'm forgetting something.... oh well...

We had a huge one acre garden watered by irrigation from the river. The field was slightly tilted so watering required building dams and switching vegetable rows. It took all day. You had to stay on top of it or you would end up flooding the whole garden. Which is bad.

Man I got so excited when I saw the title. But alas I am nowhere near socal.
umm... that's Social... with an I.. as in communal, sharing, neighbors, friends, competitors, corporate take-overs, monopolizing of product, shutting down of the mom and pop gardens, reducing employees yet increasing work loads, cuts in pay, loss of benefits, outsourcing, import of foreign vegetables... oh wait. That's Corporate gardening.

I've been gardening since the day I learned to walk. We also had horses, milk cows, pigs, chickens, geese, ducks, an occasional turkey or two, goats, and a cute little lamb we couldn't bear to butcher that grew up to become a mean ass sheep and ended up a nice rack of mutton ribs.. ::deep breath::
