Just planted about 250 seeds for fall crops. Did a little bit more than usual this year cause I plan on gifting some carrot and lettuce plants to a few people who I think will enjoy starting a little gardening themselves. A few people have commented to me how they want to start their own garden so I've taken it upon myself to get them started.
So far the weather has gotten considerable colder this last week, not sure exactly what's going on but anything is better than 90-100f+. It would be nice to have an actual fall season for once here instead of crazy ass fires like we've been having the last few years
Honestly Citrus trees grow really easily where I'm at. Never had to work too hard with them. Basically just feeding them every 2-3 months in the off season and for 3 months when they're about to be ripe feed them extra once a month. If you want though, it doesn't hurt to check your pH levels for the soil, it can be pretty important. So far I've only checked it twice and it's been fine buy our tap water here is great so we're lucky https://gardenerd.com/blog/whats-growin-on-blog/how-to-do-a-home-soil-test-for-citrus/#:~:text=It's%20pretty%20simple%3A%20spoon%20a,we're%20good%20on%20pH!
I live in a "you can grow citrus!?" climate. Checking pH sounds like a great idea for finnicky plants, I'll take a look at that. Thanks!
Good luck, and if you live in a colder climate then I'd definitely recommend investing in some of those thermal blanket wraps for it during the winter. They aren't super expensive and worth it if it gets too cold
