REFLECTION QUESTIONFoodConsider the ways you can garden: a plot of land? a patio container? hanging basket? windowsill gardens? What would work best for your living situation and lifestyle?
Diana callimanis 10/05/2018 5:27 PMOver the years, I've had the best luck in growing in containers. Tucson is a harsh environment for growing edibles, between the relentless summer heat and the critters that visit my yard, it's hard to grow anything to maturity. Herbs have been my best crops - basil, parsley, dill and one year, peppers!
