gardening in Monterey

carolina_girl
18 years ago

I am moving to Monterey. I am used to gardening in North Carolina and I'm having a hard time finding sites to help with what grows well in Monterey. I've found that it's a mediterranean climate, but would like to know what grows well in the Monterey area considering the fog, etc. Any help would be appreciated.
