How to prune citrus trees/what vegetables to plant in the fall?

Question

We just recently moved to sunny San Rafael from SF and are trying to figure out all the things we need to do to keep our lawn and gardens beautiful. One of our questions is how to prune our citrus trees, one naval orange, lemon and some other unknown variety of orange (I think). Any suggestions? Also what herbs and veggies can we plant in fall? Thanks for your help.

Answer

Citrus only require pruning to maintain an agreeable shape or confine them to their space. Pruning is best done in late spring. This will sacrifice some fruit and flowers. Herbs for fall planting are parsley, thyme, rosemary, sage, winter savory, coriander/cilantro, marjoram, oregano, and mint. Vegetables to get in the ground are spinach, beets, broccoli, radishes, peas, onions (by seed or transplant), cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, chard, lettuces, and celery.
