My Little Garden


Gardening in Arizona is so different from where I grew up in the midwest. My mom had a garden planted every summer. Here, you have to start planting in February because by summertime and 110 degrees outside, your little plants will literally burn to a crisp!

Although I've lived in this neck of the woods for 18 yrs., I've just recently had the time and patience to research Arizona gardening. This will be my very first attempt!

Above, you can see my bush green beans in the foreground, and my little bush peas growing up the trellis I made behind that - yes, in the background, that is my pool fence! Weird, huh? I also tried my hand at planting carrots, cucumbers, zucchini, and even cantaloupe.

Anyway, I water and talk to all my little plants everyday and plead with them to grow big and strong and yield lots of veggies! I'll let you know whether or not I was talking on deaf ears...or leaves!
