People, people. Lend me your ear! This may be just what the “doctor ordered”! What more could we who live in the desert southwest ask for! I know how much work I do just so my dirt (can hardly call it soil) can hold water and praying that I can afford the fertilizer and water […]

Select garden location. Prepare location [clean, weed, amend] Get seeds or seedlings that you want to plant. [tomatoes, corn, broccoli, etc.] Grandpas garden was a mess!!!!!!

Spinach is perhaps the easiest thing besides lettuce to grow. It is a cold weather crop….as it bolts in heat. Loves growing in pots, doesn’t mind cold nights and doesn’t mind being crowded. I thin it when it looks really crowded, say, once a week and clean & refrigerate the baby leaves to use in […]
