    I guess I'm trying to get a handle on growing out here in AZ. Everything is certainly very different from back east (please notice that I didn't say back home. AZ is home, and I have no intent to go back there.) I'm still trying to figure out what I should plant and when. I'm just trying to live a bit independently, growing some good food, raising some chickens for eggs, mostly. Right now I have a super abundance of figs if there were somebody near enough interested in bartering for different kinds of produce (no more zucchini, please!!)

    Greetings from Morristown, everyone. It's far, far NW valley, but your group may be the nearest out to me.

    Anybody have any suggestions for low water requirement veggies? I would like to start a small garden this fall, have some old freezers filled with dirt, but not much access to water. I would like to start with just a few plants to experiment. Thanks!

eucalyptus trees

Hi,Hi everyone - I just joined the South West Valley Group and have serious questions.I read online that eucalyptus is poison to trees or other plants around it. What I need to ask is:  Does anyone know how far away another tree should be to prevent it from                                  the eucalyptus poison.                                  Is it the oil in the leaves that is bad?
