Can’t believe I just found your channel. I’ve been looking for others here in AZ for awhile now. Great video.

Watering deeply and less often. Such great advice. Drip irrigation sucks if you aren’t watering deeply.

That's the secret to happy plants especially in hot dry climates.

Phoenix local here. Thank you, Angela! Your channel has been incredibly helpful, especially for someone who has only been gardening a couple years. The month-to-month instructions have been such a helpful guide. I've started taking notes as each month approaches. Will it dramatically affect my corn to apply 40% shade? If I companion plant summer squash, that would require shade, correct?

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

It would probably be fine. Glad the videos are helpful.

Hello. I'm wondering if you have any insight to using irrigation in the garden with raised beds, trees etc? The house we bought comes with irrigation so I'm hoping that will cut down on the need to water every day this summer? Love your videos, you are such a big help and I LOVE your garden tours!

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

Irrigation is more difficult to use with raised beds, but a perfect option for trees. Irrigation provides deep, infrequent watering which encourages deep roots. Thanks for watching.

[@meghanherrick7351]

Hi Angela! Any advice on how to rotate garden beds? Do you do that each season in order to best support the soil for new growth? Would love to hear your thoughts on companion planting here in the low desert :)

[@palehorse4447]

I know you mentioned shading Armenian Cucumbers. But would you recommend shading regular and pickling cucumbers as well?

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

Regular cucumbers do need some shade, they often finish up as the temperatures get hot. Once it is too hot they get bitter.

[@deserthorses5]

Starting TOMORROW we will hit triple digits. UGH! NOT looking forward to that! My sunflowers, zinnias, cosmos, and marigolds will love it!

[@blys2pay]

When I clicked on this video, my question was, which plants need to be shaded. I'm a new gardener. this is my first spring/summer garden. thank you so much.

Wow my peaches are still green. Question about planting seeds this time of year. Since you're letting the top few inches of soil dry out, does that mean you're manually watering where any seeds may be?

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

Yes, I do go around and hand water where I have planted seeds.

What a beautiful garden. Enjoyed watching it, thank you. Enjoy! 🌸

[@aprilcoignard6261]

So I might already be overwatering, too frequent not deeply enough. I have 5 baby transplant citrus trees and a baby olive tree. Two of them had to be transplanted multiple times, almost killed them but they’re hanging on but stressed still and I’m adding B1 one every other day, nitrogen when the color fades. I’m nipping the buds so all the energy goes to the leaves and roots. Right now I have my timer set three times a day every day for 15 minutes. It seems to go dry pretty quickly so it seemed appropriate and everything seems like it’s doing OK, however like you mentioned I might be getting lucky because of the cooler weather. For citrus tree transplants, how often and frequently should I set my timer?

Angela, I’m down in Tucson and our heat is just a few degrees lower than Phoenix. I have about 70 trees and they all are struggling. This year, I really applied the water and they are doing much better. I deep water once a week, but I water my trees in the early morning and again in the early evening. I realize your items are a garden and mine are trees but i don’t have half the fullness (leaves and produce) you have. I must still be doing something wrong.

You can grow it here. Plant after frost in the spring. Not sure how it does here in the summer.

@@GrowingInTheGarden thanks Angela. I will give it a go. Grom my understanfing since I left you the question I have found that jicama needs a long season to grow (upwards of 150 days to 9 mons) which must include at terminal period of shorter than 10/9 hours days which is whrn the bulbs become enlarged. I am going to start a b7nch now and see how they perform come December. They don't tolerate cold from what I read, so will see how that goes.
