Hi,

Just a new gardener from Carefree, AZ -- north of Phoenix; 2500 ft in elevation, not quite low or high desert. With enough water, it is possible to grow almost everything in the desert.

My tomatoes are going into the ground in one week to join the peppers, lettuce, onions and parsley.

Welcome! I can't even get to my garden area. It's either under snow or muddy. I'm confessing my jealousy for all who are working in the gardens already!

I would do almost anything to live in Idaho, but yes ... we've got two growing seasons and two "winters" during which few things grow. Summer, here, is like winter for Idahoans. Almost all vegetables go dormant or die and we're stuck inside.

Seriously, I'm going to sell this place and move to Idaho, Colorado or, maybe, Texas. Can't wait.
