Hi Everybody,
Here in AZ our veggie garden is in full swing. We just got hit with our first triple digit temperatures with 104 being the average during this 10-day forecast, so I pulled my 70% shade screen. If temps drop again, I may pull it back for morning sun, but then again, I may not. Winds are peaking at an average of 15-20 mph day-long.
We have much in the garden right now: zucchini, yellow and butternut squash, kale, cauliflower and Brussels sprouts, watermelon, muskmelon and pumpkin, as well as eggplant, corn (doing poorly), and first year asparagus. Most all are in flower with the zucs and yellow providing harvest already - in fact, getting ready to have sautéed squash for lunch! No fruit set on any melons, nor on the cauliflower or Brussels sprouts - although, I'm checking everyday! Oh, and I'm letting my bush beans go to seed before pulling to make room for the melons.
We did have patio & cherry tomatoes going, but the local critters decided against it! We are still fairly new gardeners with only a couple years of experience, and if it wasn't for ATP, I'm quite certain we would not be having the success we've had! I am so thankful for ATP! I had no idea how much knowledge is needed in gardening! My hat off to all members here!
Here's a quick tour:
