What gardening zone is Sacramento, Ca?

Try www.sacramentogardening.com. It looks like a very good site. Sacramento has a wonderful climate to grow things and I honestly think everything you have listed should grown great. Also you can check out your local garden centers or places like Lowes and Home Depot. They can tell you what is good or not good to plant and don't be shy about asking about how much to water your plants and how much and what kind of fertilizer you should use. Try to go organic as much as possible. You will be healthier eating what you grow that way. Have lots of fun. For your tomatoes, you will want to get a tomato cage or stake the plant. Tomato plants grow big and are heavy so they need a strong support. When planting the tomato plant, pick off several of the lower branches and plant the tomato plant very deep or make a trench and have it go horizontal and then slowly branch upward. It sounds strange, but your tomato plant will grow roots all along the stem that is under the ground and it needs a good-strong root system. All other plants that you listed plant at the level in the soil they are already at. Tomatoes love full hot sun and do best in it. All of the plants listed can be in full sun. You will love the wonderful flavor from your home-grown vegetables and herbs.
