Growing garden veggies in desert all about timing, location

InMaricopa By Al Brandenburg You may have started to plant your tomatoes, peppers and cukes. Early April in Arizona’s low desert garden is one of the most beautiful times of year, but one of the biggest mistakes made by Maricopa gardening rookies is timing. Spring in Wisconsin, for example, is much like autumn in Arizona so people may plant the wrong thing at the wrong time. Raising vegetables in the desert can be daunting to people who forget the planting cycle is different. Planting tomatoes in May can lead to heartache in July. The desert has two growing seasons spring and fall. And both have vegetables that grow best in colder or warmer temperatures. Folks from the East or Midwest should think of low desert summers as a gardening winter, not a time to sow seeds.
