I'll toss my Welcome's in as well!

What type of gardening do you do in Arizona?? Always pictured that as a dry barren place.

Cactus?

Actually, I tried growing cactus and ended up killing it by dehydration -- who knew that was even possible?!?

I love gardening myself... well, kinda. I enjoy growing tomatoes, and thats about it. My thumb is not green at all, but I keep trying (and killing) new varieties of tomatoes.

Looking forward to seeing you around the forums!

Well Ginwae, we moved out from Southern California about a year ago so it was quite a change for us. But I looked online and saw that you can grow a ton of food out here. I'm just starting out and am hoping for the best so we'll see how it goes. Our yard already had 2 large olive trees, a large grapefruit tree and a large orange tree. We have recently added lemon, avocado, peach, plum, fuji apple, banana, and fig trees as well as some thomposon seedless and red flame seedless grape vines. We have put in a raised planter for the veggies and if that goes well, we will add a couple more.

I picked a bunch of olives and am currently three weeks into the process of preparing them. Hopefully that will work out because I love olives.

So while we miss SoCal, things are going very well and we're adjusting. Next stop.....chickens.

I am a huge gardener. We have 3 seperate growing seasons, so right now is a big harvest time for me. Yesterday, I pulled my first two artichokes of the year out of the garden.

Here are some recent pics (ignore the crazy lady writing)

The trick to gardening in Phoenix: don't try to grow stuff June-September. Total waste of water, and the crab grass actively tries to kill you.
