    Nothing. Nothing but cactus, citrus trees (9 of them!), and scorpions grow here in the desert.

    I get all my fruits and vegtables at the several high quality markets we have with-in 2 miles of my house. Even a Whole Foods down the street when I feel like loony lefty organic stuff.

    My wife, being a mid-west farm girl, goes crazy about not being able to grow a garden here, but after 35 years, she has now started relying on the markets.....year round.

    Good luck with those wonderful gardens!!!!!

    I used to plant and grow several varieties of chiles, Jalapenos, serranos, Thai hots, nowadays about the only thing I've been growing is Lazy, I'll have to do something about it before it takes over everything .

    Someone give me a swift kick, I need motivation lol. Have not planted anything here as of yet. Maybe a few 'maters and some bell peppers. However I have another project!
    I got this old fiberglass boat. It started off we were going to make a floating duck blind, well that has came and went. My thoughts now are to cut it down until it is maybe 16-24" tall and use it as a raised bed? Any thoughts or input.
    Mob the stories I could tell folks,lol. Looks good enough in a get another one and put it in the front yard just to tick off the neighbors

    Are you planing on brewing your own beer with your own hops?

    Get some bad cattle watering tanks(rusted bottoms, cracked bottoms if plastic) and fill with potting soil. You now have a nice raised bed garden system.

    Red Potatoes, Green Onions, Cabbage, Cucumbers. Tomatoes, Green Peppers, a couple more cucumbers (I stagger plantings) this weekend. I have black raspberries which were planted last year coming on and also planted a couple blueberry bushes. I plan on a couple of rows of corn and then see what room I have left. Thought about green beans but they are pretty plentiful at the local farmers market.

    I wasn't going to plant anything this year , real busy with other stuff , until my wife said " Home grown vine ripened tomatoes for BLT's.... you mean we are not going to have BLT's this year ? " The memory of those sandwiches was all it took to inspire me, I had the the beds prepared and tomatoes planted in no time....I'm thinking how good that first BLT is going to taste !
    I like the raised bed boat , put it up on blocks to make things easier to plant and harvest. Neighbor's hate to see anything up on blocks ! Great idea .

    I bought pepper and tomato plants Monday.
    It was 28* Monday night.
    I guess I am getting a little antsy to get the warm weather crops in.
    Cool weather crops are doing well.
    I am getting some nice asparagus from my 2-3 year old plants finally....dale

    Three types of tomatoes, sweet 100s, early girl and roma, jalapeños, broccoli, cauliflower all from a local place that gets their plants from an Amish grower. Also decided to plant marigolds to see if they truly Ward off bugs, some from the same source but also planted some from seeds along with some sunflowers and cucumber, a bit late but they may yet catch up.

    This is my second year using a raised bed, last year squirrels got all my tomatoes. This year, I am setting up an electric fence with + - wires spaced inches apart, so hopefully I get some matters.

    In addition to a very small ground garden, I built a couple of 3'W x 6'L x 17"H raised beds, plus three 1'W x 3'L x 11"H boxes, plus two 55 gal. plastic water drums cut in half and half dozen 5 to 7 gallon pots and buckets.

    No squirrel problems here, but rats can eat you out of house & home and what they don't get the bugs and the birds taste-test.

    Mrs. smokeywolf has the raised beds covered with netting that protects against birds and bugs and has mixed up a solution of mint oil, capsaicin, onion juice and garlic juice. We're also incorporating hardware cloth here and there in our defenses.

    Four 55gl plastic drums are what I used for mine, framed w/four foot legs. I heard the capsaicin trick before, but I have had them chew my jalapeño and cayenne peppers before so idk how well it will work for me. I have been at war with these guys before, but that was with the bird feeders, they are a crafty bunch.

    I plant lettuce in the fall, so have had fresh lettuce already, it winters very well. Collards are up, fresh lettuce is up, as are radishes, spinach, horseradish, garlic doing well of course. Asparagus is producing, but needs some warmer weather. The peppers I winter over are producing, and flowering heavily.
    The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

    Peas, cabbage, brocolli, onions, beets, carrots, 3 types of lettuce, spinach, 2 types of tomatoes, potatoes and cukes. Just lots of a little bit of everything. Been eating lettuce and spinach for a couple of weeks. No corn this year as we are surrounded suurounded by fields and this is a tobacco year. Corn never does anything with the stuff they spray. Annoying but they were here first.

    All the herbs are doing great. Chives, oregano, rosemary etc. Fig trees doing well. Pear tree has small fruit but lost the peach tree. Never did well anyways so pulled it

    Picked strawberrys last week and made jam the next day with enough left over for shortcake

    Tomatoes are starting to ripen on the vine here, my wife picked the first one yesterday. Surprised the terrible weather the last 2 weeks didn't kill everything. Harvested my first bulb of garlic too, just letting it hang dry.

    When did you plant your tomatoes? I planted mine Feb 14 and still have a couple of weeks before I get my first large tomato. I do have a couple of sunsugar cherry tomatoes ripening to be picked this afternoon.
