This channel is a running video journal documenting my journey towards sustainable urban food gardening in the Sonoran Desert. I hope you’ll follow along as I learn about permaculture, aquaponics, food forests, rain water harvesting, food preservation and much much more.

I understand the difficulty of growing certain plants 🪴 I've been growing these peppers since i was 9 Im 35 now..by far one of the most rewarding peppers ! Hello from TUBAC AZ
Hi, I hope you answer. You mentioned in your video about not being able to afford burlap to stuff the cages. Do you suppose burlap would work the same as straw? You don’t think it would rot faster thus possibly rot the trees?
I live in tucson and tried grapes about 10 years ago but the sun did them in. I probably need some professional guidance where to put them in my yard. right now i don't have any in ground garden which I would like--just containers.. Thanks! make more videos!
Those lil Pom poms always convince me that my beloved seeds are succumbing to mould. Always so thankful once the 2 seed leaves start to show and I know it’s prob gonna survive now
How are your seeds not covered in mold... My seeds are germinating but all of them are white and moldy, ugh I am so discouraged I am certain I am going to kill my seeds...
Thank you it's my Faaavvvvooorite chillies ♥️♥️♥️ them mostly salted with garlic iñ a jar for 4_5 days then pour the water out then add olive oil in it then let it pickle for a week then 😋😋😋 with a sardines 🥪.♥️🇺🇸🦅🇲🇺🦤
I bought some peppers from Mexico for personal consumption. I really want to try this, I live in Mesa. I've only grown jalapeno, Tabasco, Thai etc. What time of year is best to start them ?
@JY-py9lv starting them indoors, in the late winter or very early spring, is best. They produce a ton once they’re a year and older. Try to keep them as perennials instead of annuals, you’ll be happier.
I mostly grow In ground but I amend with composted cattle manure and other inputs like alfalfa pellets, bone, blood meal, and worm castings. In pots I use the cheap Kellogg’s organic potting soil from the big box stores.
Funny shi!t at the end... Inspired me to grow these and plant these around me i have bought one start and have seeds from my local grocery here we go Summer Begins today...
I'm curious how well the moringa trees did. Mine died in the winter, so I'm going with native legume trees instead. Moringa trees seem to work well as annuals, but not as the overstory tree.
I understand completely. We joke about having a part time forest. Mine suffered some trunk die back but they all survived. I have a video I’m getting ready to post about how they did last winter.

Moruga Scorpion flakes would truly take the flavor of these eggs to the next level. I’m glad you brought this to my attention. Thank you my spicy friend!
They’re single plants in the bags. They’re very bushy plants. I posted an update on them the other day. They’re planted directly in the ground now and are two years old.
I got some piquin peppers from a local flea market, that came originally from Senora, Mexico. The vendor said his mom picks them to sell. I will send you some.😊😊
Not sure how I missed this! I had ordered "fingerlime" seeds, but not sure if they were the real thing, having come from the Wish App. They didn't sprout, so this was really exciting to see you have one. I hope they get those down here. Yes, would love to see an update on this girl in the future. 😊😊
Thanks Dulce! This was a bit of a score for us. It was the only one at the nursery and gratefully it is a pink variety. I’ll have to keep her in a pot but I already have a 25 gallon pot with her name on it. If I ever get any seeds, I’ll send some to you.
We had no less than three frost warnings and three hard frost warnings, with three snow falls. Wow, eh? Number of days with the freeze was a whole lot, to be sure! Hardest winter in a long time, I think. I had some stuff survive it nicely! I love it!
I wondered how your yard handled the weather. Hopefully your losses were less than mine. I lost a young pomelo tree and some unprotected plants like some peppers and eggplants. Some of the Moringa trees suffered some damage and two lost the trunks above ground. Luckily none died completely though.
@@tucsonurbangardening2701 Things here are going very well. There were a lot of plants that did not make it through the winter, but I cannot say I lost anything. I do not view plants as living things. To me, they are beautiful, self-replicating food making machines. There is a word for living that the Bible never applies to plants. They do not die; they wither. So, while I had a lot wither, nothing died, and I lost nothing. What did I gain? Oh boy! I enjoyed watching kale and tree collards laugh at snow in Tucson. That was glorious. Snow on their leaves and they are all like, "yeah, we bad," and, "Hey, is it cold enough for you?" ha ha ha Well, I had 4 Moringa Trees overwinter, and one put on flowers yesterday. The STUN method worked well on them. Strategic Total Utter Neglect. I did nothing to overwinter them. If I can get stuff to grow doing nothing, and not giving them any water, I can grow a lot of stuff. Now, I am mostly thinking about what to plant to get my high canopy developing. Fruit trees mostly.
@@busker153 I tried the STUN method on a few things myself. My rainbow eucalyptus trees were left outside to fend and my avocados. All survived but look super rough. I’ll bet the tree kale looked great with a crown of snow! And you have flowers on your Moringa trees already? How fantastic!
