Now now, Southern California does not equal California. Southern California is a desert, indeed... except for the bits that use water pumped out of Northern California.
But Central and Northern California, agriculture galore! 98% of the world's artichokes come from the small town of Castroville. Loads of strawberries out of Watsonville. Cherries from all over. Garlic from Gilroy (oh my but the Black Bear Diner in Gilroy has the most garlicky garlic fries ever! with solid chunks of garlic, even! yums!). Apples all over the place. And that's just in a 40-mile radius of where I live...
