Preparing for Fall Planting

Well it is getting to that time to start thinking about fall planting. I am enjoying the fact that, in Arizona, we have two growing seasons! =)

I have plenty of room in my garden for a bit more items so here is the list that I am currently contemplating on:

• Green Onions


• Chives


• Tarragon


• Parsley


• Basil (Sweet Genovese)


• Marigolds


• Nasturtiums (Planted some earlier this year and they didn’t last the summer so I am hoping that they will make it this next go around.)

I am doing my research on all the above so if anyone has any comments and or suggestions please feel to comment and suggest away.


Till next log,

Cheers!

Arizona Monthly Calendar

In doing some research on Gardening in Arizona... I stumbled upon what seems to be a great mini gardening checklist for those who live in this dry desert oasis that we call home. Check it out at About.com

What is really great is that I had discovered that Tomatoes and Peppers have two growing seasons here in the desert, that is if you can keep them alive long enough to do the necessary trimmage to 18 - inches in the month of September for re-growth and harvest in early December. =)

Check out the calendar, it not only covers Vegi Gardens but Grass (for those of you who do not know, we have two growing seasons for two different types of grasses here in the desert, Bermuda for summer and Perennial Rye for the winter), Trees and Shrubs, Flowers and a Monthly Does and or Don'ts Lists for the month.

Till Next Log...

Cheers!
