Thank you for all the information you provided the Arizona gardener. I moved to Arizona from Oregon where i had a large garden every year. Growing in Arizona is so different then Oregon. Thank you for all your help.

@kevinadams9468 Год назад

I live in SW Nebraska... these days easily hotter and receiving less rain than many places in AZ. 100+ degree days are quite common all through July and August, and we had 118 degrees last year with no appreciable rainfall in over ten years. Now you know why I am watching this video! Thanks for the tips and stay cool.

Thank you! This answers SO many questions for me. I'm a new gardener in zone 9b in Santa clarita CA and I tried to start some "summer" plants such as watermelon, butternut squash and tomatoes as early as February because I knew from last year that the middle of the summer really is our dormant season. I even had a tomato ripening tomatoes at Christmas time. I have SO much to learn

@ahnaahna7278 2 года назад

Ohhhhh! Thank you. In Atlanta area....we have had unusually hot hot summers....and I have known that this year that I must use shade cloths on my deck, etc. I did use an umbrella last year. I grow gentler shade plants on a patio here....that only receives cooler morning sun. I love Elephant ears.....but had to move their big pot..to..the patio because the deck, with a seeming afternoon shade area.....was just too much sun from the late morning. Ugh. Luckily.....I just love to plant and grow things.....so I am ‘in love with growing things’. Again...thank you!!! Ahna

I'm in zone 9b SW Florida my summer gardening schedule is to follow the shade and work in those spots for 10 - 15 minutes at a time then go inside to cool off. The south side of my garden gets my attention in the evening after the sun starts to go down. I can't wait until fall.

When we cut down a sick weed like tree that was near the deck, years ago....the deck of course.....was less shaded and horribly hotter. Duh!! I was gone away for 4 years but upon returning.....the deck really was a whole different environment....in summer. I do grow winter veggies here(Atlanta) on deck successfully. If too cold of an upcoming night.....I cover those pots with a thick plastic or 2 of those.

@enfieldjohn101 2 года назад

Absolutely! Timing is critical, especially in dry, hot places. If one grew up in another place where summers were cooler and moister than where one is now, it's important to learn to adapt to the climate one is in now. Can't follow the same gardening schedule as the one from one's hometown. Another big one is trying to avoid growing plant species that don't tolerate high heat, low humidity, high pH and salty water. Many desert places have all of these things and they make raising plants that aren't adapted to such conditions very difficult. It can be done, but expect to have to really 'baby' those plants and protect them much more than you are used to. The tips about using big plants to shade others below them are great ones. A good example of why planting different species together is often a good idea as long as none of the plants being considered release any allelopathic (or naturally toxic to other plants) chemicals. These bigger plants that are planted first, or that emerge before and/or grow faster than the plants around them (sometimes called 'nurse plants") really help, especially in deserts. When one goes on hikes out in the desert away from developed land, one sees plants growing in this way on their own. Very good video.

@yaima0901 Год назад

May i ask What plants would you avoid? I live in west Texas it’s hot and our water is not the best 😭 I bought a lot of fruit trees and now I feel like I shouldn’t because of what you just said. So if you have some for me to avoid I would appreciate it. Thanks!

@enfieldjohn101 Год назад

@@yaima0901 It takes a lot of water to grow fruit trees. I would return them if you can. I avoid plants that dont tolerate high PH and temperatures. Roses, citrus fruits, ash, plums, and things like that dont do well in hot, dry places.

@wishcloudstudios 2 года назад

I know this is an older video. But if you don't have one already, can you please make a video on your watering drip system? Mine wasn't very good and just had bubblers. My garden pretty much failed because of it. I like your watering grid and would love to see how it works, and how to make one myself for my raised beds. Thanks!

@jennhoff03 3 года назад

Great info as always! I keep reading that you're only supposed to water your container trees once a week. But mine are getting so hot that I'm alread doing it twice a week and was nervous about what to do when it gets way hotter next month. Also you're so right about scheduling the plants. When I first moved to Houston, I thought that you planted Summer vegetables here in the Summer like you would anywhere else in the country. It turns out you can plant them, but nature will fry them up in a hurry! The good part is that we get to plant our "Summer" vegetables in the spring and in the fall. So we get twice the chances to get a good crop.

Hi, do you have any tips and advice on peppers? It seems like there's such a small window for them to produce between them not liking cool nights (below 50), to dropping blossoms after 90* it sends impossible odds to grow them in arrid climates, but I'm sure others know tricks that I don't...

@GrowingInTheGarden 4 года назад

Here's a blog post I wrote about it. growinginthegarden.com/how-to-grow-peppers-growing-peppers/ The best tip I could give you is plant at the right time, give them shade in the summer and you will have a great crop in the fall.

I lived in Ky for over 40 years and had a pretty big garden most of my life....a few years ago, i moved to surprise Az....my first attempt at a garden was awful....two years later, i finally have a garden growing pretty well this year....my timing is still a little off (we never put stuff in the ground before mother's day weekend in ky)....but i have noticed that i'm struggling a little with the bugs out here in arizona...suggestions?

@GrowingInTheGarden 4 года назад

Was there a particular bug you are struggling with? Timing is the most critical factor here. Once you get that a little better I think the bug situation will improve. The bugs seem to move in here when plants are stressed or at the end of the season, so if you can keep your plants healthy that helps.

@janicedias_sowgrowanddiy 4 года назад

❤️ I don't know if UAE heat is similar to Arizona, we had a 42 degree day in Dubai and more such days to come. This video was helpful. Are you still growing tomatoes? I have read that they don't ripen in extreme heat..

@GrowingInTheGarden 4 года назад

It gets that hot here as well. Tomatoes slow down or die over the summer and then begin to pick up again when we get monsoon moisture in late July and August. (We also plant new tomatoes then too)

Over the winter I bought a few 4X2 elevated cedar garden beds with legs that are only 9 inches deep. I wasn’t thinking about Phoenix summer when I bought them, oops. Do you think I can use them in the summer if I use shade cloth and water daily or will the soil be too hot still?

@GrowingInTheGarden 2 года назад

Elevated will certainly heat up more quickly. The nice thing is you can put them in the best spot. Look for an area that gets morning sun and afternoon shade naturally.

@zxedzoicks8041 2 года назад

I feel silly but in order to know if we watered deep enough we need to dig a hole beside the plant in each raised bed to check?

@GrowingInTheGarden 2 года назад

When trying to figure out how long to water your beds, you may need to dig down and see how deep the water penetrates to ensure it is going deep enough. After that, you'll know how long to water for.
