Thank you for the great info!
❤
I get a F- 😔😁
Hi Angela, I am from Tucson.. When planting seeds like squash. The recommended soil temperature is 60 degrees. Is this daytime or night time temperature? How important is temperature when planting in the low desert.
Hi Angela, thank you for this info, getting ready to start my garden here in the high desert of Hesperia, Ca. I wanted to know what app do you use to make your garden planning??
Oh my goodness!! How I wish there was someone with such valuable resources here in northeast Georgia. Due to elevation our county is 6a-8a. It's hard to know when to plant. Thank you Angela for your videos. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE ARIZONA!! SUCH A BEAUTIFUL STATE!!
Thank you so much!! I’m in Sacramento CA 9b also. I just found your site I’m thrilled!!
Angela,
I really appreciate your videos. You talk without using the word 'umm' all the time. That word is so irritating to me and I've even stopped watching some content creators videos just because of that.
Thanks for sharing all your valuable information.
Just ordered a watering grid based on your recommendation – my beds have rounded corners so it’s great that they have cornerless options. Great video – thank you!
Awesome advice! I'm still a relative newbie here in the Phoenix area, and I love the calendar I bought from you.
I have started with "portable" raised beds on legs so they could be moved if necessary. My gardener added drip outlets to the beds. But I have the tools now to add more if needed.
I've learned the hard way about soil and timing. Shade too.
Thanks so much!
Thank you for putting out great gardening information! I've learned so much from your channel! I'm in zone 10b, so I watch a lot of southern gardeners for what to plant and when 👍🏽
Hi Angela, I look forward to all your videos. You have such great information. I live just north of you in Tonto Basin and its a little cooler up here but not much. We’re in 8b/9 here. I put in those watering grids last season and they worked amazing. I’m getting ready to add a few more beds and will be adding more of them. Happy Gardening. 😊
Good Afternoon
Thanks you for sharing garden tips.
Good advice!
Very helpful – thank you!
Wow! sister, I love your work
This year has taught me how much the frost date can change! I live in AZ too, zone 8b and we usually have our last frost mid February…. And there is snow covering my beds today March 3rd 😢 no fun! All my little starts are looking so sad!
Great advice, I use raised beds and really appreciate you sharing your knowledge on this subject! 😊
I'm here in East Mesa and have been binging your content; my one raised bed that got me into gardening at my new house last year didn't do so hott, in fact, all it did was provide some cilantro that my dog enjoyed….. Definitely think it was bad soil from home depot; I'm putting up 5 more garden beds this weekend and took a note from you, having a delivery of AZ worm farm bed mix being delivered, hoping to have SOME sort of harvest this season to get the confidence up.
You know, when looking for love in the past, I always sought out a gal with her own fishing boat. I believe I’ll be adding a new addendum to this criteria. She must also have a awesome garden with raised beds. 🤣😜😇
I living in San tan/ florence area, you’ve inspired me to start a garden this week!!
Thank you so much for the good information.
With this crazy weather lately her in southern Az, when would be a good time to start seeds? I am, i just dont want to do it too soon because of the cold/freezing weather.
I’m 9b in Florida. A lot wetter but still your advice works here as well. Thank you
I have some raised beds on a hill slope… do drip hoses and grids HAVE to be level to distribute even watering pressure? (I.e. will they water too much down hill and not at all on the upper slope?)
I have one bed which I made every single one of these mistakes with 😂. I named it my “bed of disappointment.” It’s for the iitoi onions now.
Thank you, Angela, for your great gardening videos. With your advice I think I’ll try a second raised bed and will order those really nice looking drip irrigation systems for the 2 beds I’ll have this year. This has been a cold start this spring in the desert valley near Phoenix.
