Tomatoes and Peppers. Now or in January?

From what I've heard, the indeterminate varieties do quite well here, especially some of the cherries.I just planted Sweet 100 and Early girl inderterminates to see how they would do overwintering....

Tomatoes and Peppers. Now or in January?

Just found little fruits on my Sweet 100 and early girl planted October 23 today. And, new flowers as well! Will put Christmas lights on them tomorrow to prepare for incoming cold front and start u...

Tomatoes and Peppers. Now or in January?

I come from many parts of the country as well. This part of the country fascinates me. I've lived in areas where I was growing things like peas and lettuce in July/August so to even consider the id...

Tomatoes and Peppers. Now or in January?

I have a good microclimate, being in Mesa, surrounded by citrus and giant cyprus and pines. I also have 6 foot concrete walls around my lot and a large pool which I'm sure changes things. I've neve...

I've been watching the Garden Web. It seems like anything from Jan 15-Feb 15 is a go around here. This is my first year of being pretty agressive. I'm always too late for AZ and my stuff gets too hot before producing well. The two I just planted a...

Wow, I love your trellis. Did you make this? What did you make it out of? I planted a couple of tomatoes (Early girl and Sweet 100) around Halloween and they are around 2 feet tall. They are just starting to flower. They'd be better if they had mo...

Tracy replied to Tracy's discussion 'Looking for a Few Peacocks/hens'
There appear to be quite a few in our neighborhood already. Don't know if anybody complains but they do make some noise. I've had them a long time, understand how noisy they are. Isn't it a pain that we have to worry about things like that? Can't ...

I only have about 1/3 of an acre but have tons of citrus trees, pine trees and shade. I'm in Mesa so we are surrounded by citrus. If you wanted to tuck one hive in our yard we might be able to take one. Sure would help our garden to pollinate better.

Wow! Thanks for that info Chris. Sounds like 2 hens would be plenty for us but then maybe they'd be lonely? I'm not sure if I can make the class tomorrow as I'm busy setting up for my Monarch Garden Box booth at the Thieve's Market in Cave Creek t...

Texas Olive
Does anyone have a Texas Olive tree in their yard? I'm looking for some seeds and also wondering how difficult they are to get started. I love a challenge and also love the look of this tree. I would also be interested in finding a nursery that of...

No, I don't seal the wood at all. Redwood is naturally resistant to rot, mold, mildew and fungus. It also weathers to a beautiful golden tone. My plants seem to be very happy living in their own little redwood forest and I'm happy to know we're he...

Dianne Felder replied to billy miller's discussion 'Bermuda Grass...Arrrrrrrgh!'
I guess it depends on the size of your fruit trees. I planted dwarf trees and put scalloped edgers (scalloped side down, I hate the scallops) in a 4' sq. then put 6" x 12" pavers around the outside of those allowing my husband to mow right up to t...

Do you seal the inside with anything? It is almost too pretty to get dirty! Ha ha ha ha ha ha.

Wow, that looks great. I have a planter similar to that by my back block wall but the crazy long grass along the alley behind it got through the cracks in the foundation, I guess, and took it over. That is another project for this winter. Remove a...
