Can I start an herb garden in Southern California in October?

Our fall/winter never gets very cold–only about as low as the low 50s or on rare occasion 40s. Can I start an outdoor (porch) herb garden safely right now? It’s averaging in the 80s in the month of October.

if you’re willing to spend a good $100 they have this inside like terriurum that can grow herbs year round. that’s it aerogrow.

Yes. I live in the SF valley, and typically herbs can grow year round in our area. Just make sure that your plants get enough sun, like 4-6 hours a day, or else they will grow slow and get leggy.

Absolutely fine, most herbs are really hardy, so SoCal is great for these. Sowing from seed probably better indoors, where you can keep an eye on them, but if already potted just plant and they’ll be good.
