Sounds like great eventual retirement weather - slightly cooler but not much snow I would imagine. If you get up Phx way please email me at Julie@goldstarstaffingservices.com and I will give you our address and phone number. Always nice to visit with a fellow gardener :).

This is such a great site to learn about ARizona gardening. I have found the classes and the planting calendar to be invaluable. Sounds like you live in the southern part of the state?

Hi Cheryl - thanks for the comment on my produce - I have 14 tomato plants this season that are doing great and even have some small tomatoes already.

I am in the West Valley - 43d Ave/Greenway - you are always welcome to come see our gardens...

"Yes, we live in Sahuarita, south of Tucson headed toward Nogales. But we're also up the mountain at about 4500 feet, so we're quite a bit cooler than where you are. Typically we get temps about five degrees cooler than Tucson, so more like 8-10…"

"Wow, tomatoes already? That's awesome! I'd love to come see your garden sometime. My husband always likes to look at what others are doing.

The chickens are mostly for eggs, although we'll put them in the pot if they're not keeping busy. Too many…"

"Beautiful produce! I'm jealous. We're just beginning to plant our garden this spring. I've gardened before, so I'll just have to learn how to garden in the Arizona climate. This site seems to be a good resource for friends and advice. Adding you as…"
