At Denny's ANYWHERE.free grand slam breakfast and a coupon book. 6a to 2 p. I'll see YOU there!
where did you come from Debbie? I am happy without a lawn, lawns have bugs and are an allergy for me, but they are SOOOOO pretty and fun to barefoot in. I've planted almost everything I can. I have to get a working drip going, that is my biggest pai…

I LOVE having a pool too Janine that was the one caveat of a northern girl relocating to AZ when my hubby was transfered here. I will do without any lawn and put fruit trees and gardens in all the non-pool areas of my yard. It is refreshig and good…
well figure, my pool will satisfy me with all the water I need should that happen. A pool is not that big an expense and no more social liability than having a backyard, IMO. I love my pool. I cannot imagine living here without one.

The two things I would use are sulfur and peat moss. I would consider growing them in large glazed pots so you could completely control the soil properties. Bakers Nursery has Phoenix adapted blueberry plants too.
If I had a pool, I'd line the bottom portion of the pool with a bladder as a reservoir to hold water from roof runoff. Then I would cover it with dirt and plant on top. I've never been keen on pools, and since I've discovered they're not that enviro…
I would maim husband if he filled in our pool. it's a huge form of recreation and exercise for us/me and helps me keep cool and the ducks love it too, as well as husband. costs far outweigh
the blessing of having it.

- Hello Janine,
I see you're signed up for the Applesauce canning this weekend. I'll see you there. I'd be glad to share what I know about canning. All self taught and still learning. I know a couple of people that I need to hook up with who are old school canners and experts at it. Look forward to learning more from them. If you're not in a hurry after the canning session Sunday, perhaps we can chat a bit.
Sounds like you're heavy into naturopathy and herbalism. Thats an area where I'd like to learn as much as I can. Look forward to sharing and having some fun.

Sorry about the mix up on the date...This will be held on the evening of April 7. I am still working on securing a space for the event.
thanks,

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.
