EGGPLANT in Phoenix! ...Our eggplant seeds got thrown into unfertilized dirt, just under our stonescape next to the wall. The plant grew with a drip tube on it. We ultimately yanked the plant out completely and capped off the drip tube to make room for a shed that hasn't been built yet....and this Spring the plant came back more massive than ever and way more purple babies!! We put the drip tube back on. So it's good to know eggplants are hearty here!! Your plants look amazing. We are inspired!

Love your video and Instagram posts! The month by month planting boards are really helpful since I also live in Arizona. I have some iitoi onions that I planted last fall. I have been enjoying the green tops all winter, but they seem to be dying now. I want to save some and plant them in the fall like your blog says. I was wondering if I am supposed to cut off the green tops before I cure them in a shady dry area. Thanks again for all your helpful tips!

@GrowingInTheGarden 4 года назад

Thanks. No, don't cut them off. They will just kind of shrivel up and fall off when they are dry. Let all that energy from them go into the onion. Good question, and thanks for watching!

Tempe resident. I tend to focus on fruit trees but I’m enjoying your videos. I’ve never been successful with corn either. Glad I’m not alone. I hope yours is productive this year. I have planted roselle and Malabar spinach in a few years. I think I’m going to plant some. I need to include flowers more in my garden. The bees love my citrus and my tomatoes are in the “flight path” so they get some attention as well. Your garden is lush and lovely.

@GrowingInTheGarden 3 года назад

Sounds great!

@GreenGranny 3 месяца назад

I live in an srea with the same arid heat as AZ. I have been successful with corn. My tips are to plant as early as possible and choose one of the shortest maturing days. This year my corn will mature in 72 days. I usually plant a couple weeks after last frost date. Checking for soil temp to be at least 50°. I also hand pollinate. I do not open up the husk just shake the tassels on corn silk. I plant in blocks of 4 rows wide and 12 feet long.

@GreenGranny 3 месяца назад

I also fertilized with organic fert. once weekly, and at the end, a couple weeks before harvest, I had to use shade cloth because it was getting sunburned.

@hunnybunnyssunshineliving5155 2 года назад

I was told to plant corn against north wall and when ready to pollinate do it by hand, using a small paintbrush get pollen then open up the corn husk carefully and dust gently with pollen. Corn must be planted in rows not blocks... lots of sun, water soil only, not the stalks. ☀️

I love home grown tomatoes, and in Massachusetts grew more than I could eat most years. Now I live in Arizona and every tomato plant I transplant either to my garden, or larger pot, just dies instantly! I can't figure it out. I tried watering more, watering less, direct sun, partial sun, fertilizer, potting soil, compost, everything. It's so discouraging. On the other hand, kale and Broccoli grow amazingly well all winter long.

I moved to Phoenix from Portland Oregon back in 2012. Gardening scares me because I have killed a few plants when I thought I was trying hard not to. I probably over watered or stressed the plant out with my neurotic tendencies...So I dabbled years ago and was beginning to have a little success in Oregon and haven't even tried here but now I am ready.

Hi Angela!! Where can I find the recipe for Roselle Hibiscus Jam I love Roselle Hibiscus " Agua Fresca" and I bet the jam is delicious. Thank you so much for your videos I like every single one that I have watched. I live in Tucson. Last year I grew some Roselle Hibiscus and they were beautiful. Thanks again.

I plant a lot of mammoth sunflowers and also some from a multi-branching variety I harvested off the side of the road years ago. I save the seeds each year and it also reseeds. I'm not sure of the variety.

I started my garden in Jan. I live in wadell AZ, near surprise. I read everywhere that I should start seeds in Jan. Si I did. And they are like 4 inches tall and still can't put outside cuz of the cold at night and the wind. I sampled a few zucchini outside and they got windsurf and broke a 4 inches. How are yours so big???
