Trouble Lurks in the Garden
No picture today with this post because I don't want to gross you out - my swollen, red left foot is the reason for this note.
First - I have already been chastised by my fellow gardener friends. Seems like the guys had less sympathy and did more scolding than the woman.
Second - I feel a little foolish even sharing this with you. I mean, come-on, I am a PROFESSIONAL (aren't I?). But if I don't share this with you, there is a good chance this could happen to you!
So here goes - I stepped on a… Continue

Sustainers of Life
In a Three Sisters planting, the three partners benefit one another. Corn provides support for beans. Beans, like other legumes, have bacteria living on their roots that help them absorb nitrogen from the air and convert it to a form that plants can use. (… Continue

- Hello Doreen,
I'm one of the PDC students that contacted you a while back about volunteering for the Greenbuild conference in some capacity, and I was wondering if you'd heard more about it since then? In the meantime, I'm a new volunteer at Desert Botanical Gardens and had the good luck to get signed up as your instructor aide for the class on Sunday. See you then and if there is absolutely anything I can do to help prepare for the class please let me know.
Thanks,
Jaime

Thank you, Judy. That is a lot closer to my house. I'll probably head out this weekend to pick some up.
Here is a link to a search tool for Mastergardeners. It will not tell you if the fruit is edible, but it does say what type of wildlife it will attract. These plants also have the benefit of being desert adapted, so you are not spending a ton of mon…
Actually there is a local company that sells them for 18.98. They are 25' with a 9" diameter. I am thinking of getting them for my school garden project. It is going to take a couple of years to turn our dirt into soil and this allows the instant gr…
Erin, we subscribed to Desert Roots CSA a couple of years ago, don't think they offered meat then but I'll check it out, thanks.

Ready made raised beds, looks pretty cool but pricey. Don't know if there is a local source for them and how much just the wattles cost. They're recycling rice straw from Ca. for them now instead of burning the straw after harvest which is a good th…
