introdutions

Hi, I'm a new gardener looking for places to ask questions and learn more about permaculture in the city. There have been a number of community gardens springing up in vacant lots and larger agriculture projects proposed on public land, beyond p-patches and garden clubs.
For myself I have started a guerrilla garden in the lot next door and started listening to the podcast to get ideas how to make things grow without attracting attention of the owner or taking up too much of my time plowing and pruning.
thanks for the ideas, I'll be in touch.

Hello, and welcome! Ask away, and we'll do our best to help out.

Finally able to log in again, long story. Welcome and were here to help.

Just joined to watch it grow.

We welcome Rats here, LOL.

Greetings everyone! I am new here and so excited to share gardening tips and ideas. I live in central AZ so gardening here is a real challenge compared to other parts of the country I have lived in!

I do raised beds and 'guerilla' gardening, LOL..right now it's too hot for most things but tomatoes, zukes, carrots, beets and pole beans so far are doing well.

I am also learning how to save seeds and have been collecting heirloom ones for about a year now. Since I have always loved gardening since I was young, it's therapy for me as well as learning more to have healthy food. Sprouting is my thing also, still working on perfecting that one.

Great to have you here, as always I/We are here to help. Have you tried growing amaranth? maybe chyotee squash(I think that's how you spell it)lol. Are you High or low altitude? propagating some cactus for fruit is also a possibility. Some corn and native plant types should do well. Once established peppers should do well to. I'm no expert in that climate, but friends and others that live there I've talked to have tried many of these with success. I'd suggest a huglekulture bed or 2 to help with water retention. more on that check out www.richsoil.com

Check out www.growingyourgreens.com I'll post the vid here but he goes into hot dry growing info in many vids, you may want to check his youtube out.
