AZ Gardeners

DH was there a couple days ago. He said the pilot must've made a mistake & landed on the sun. I'm still laughing.

It's not even hot yet

Yep! Summer in AZ makes hell look like a nice, refreshing vacation spot.

The beginnings of a vertical succulent garden. Got a pallet when we bought pavers and I'm thinking it will go under a window on the patio.

I'm thinking of planting okra, black-eyed peas, Armenian cucumbers, amaranth and quinoa. All are supposed to love the heat, so why not?

Love me some Armenian cucumbers! They grow well here.

Took a few hours but the vertical garden is done.

Recycled an old box I had magazines in. I love the wild look of these sedums. Going to paint that chicken some day.

That turned out great!!!!

My zucchini plant is a monster! The leaves are the size of dinner plates and the first male buds have emerged. I'm really hoping for a decent crop this year so I can make lots of zoodles. We're constantly trying to improve our eating habits, and often still order takeout. My goal is to create my own little Garden of Eden so we can just walk outside and pluck a snack off a tree or something instead of caving into fast food.

Thank you!

I'm jealous of your zucchini. I haven't made it to planting beds for veggies yet but my goals are much the same as yours. I'm familiar with the fast food demon myself. No time.

I have to get grass and trees planted after we r&r some pavers, then we can create our garden beds. Can't wait for that.
