Nice!!

[@deniseatdevoncheycreations2312]

Love your garden! Do you know the approximate acreage of your lot? I have 1/2 acre and yours seems so much larger!

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

Our lot is less than 1/3 acre includes pool, house, etc. Thanks!

[@lindawoody8501]

I am going to have to try Ginger here. I live up in the low mountains of AZ at 3,500' elevation - gets hot in the Summer and cool to cold in the Winter. Don't know if Ginger will grow. I had some in Florida two years ago when I lived there.

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

Start it indoors - should work out.

[@customer5032]

Watching this in 2022- whenever I get frustrated, I watch one of your videos and get inspired again! It was really helpful seeing how you transformed each section of your yard. The advice on ollas/wine barrels, and your watering grids, also helped a lot! Thank you for helping all Phoenix gardeners! 👍

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

Thank you for the encouragement as well. Best of luck to you!

[@olyadowning2825]

I needed to see this today! Thank you so much for sharing! I just love, love, love your garden; it's so beautiful!

Glad its helpful, best of luck to you!

What a great inspireding garden just trying to get the water closer to garden then some day I will have garden like yours but not More vegetables plus lots of vertical trellis hope build to survive a hurricane all the new raised garden beds will be hip height plus 4 ft paths going to try growing creeping thyme and lavender on the paths for bees plus the armour will keep mosquitoes away well that's the plan

[@ozlem8659]

Amazing garden! I like how you explain everything well.

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

Thank you!

[@swikfors]

Looks fantastic, Angela! I’m also in Mesa and did the lasagna approach with wood chips, soil & compost. It has worked really well but year 1 was a little tough due to the wood chips binding up the nitrogen. Love your garden!

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

I’m liking it so far as well. Thanks

[@dko3623]

I love your garden tour! I garden in the Phoenix metro area and you have given me some great tips for what to plant along my block walls. Thank you!

Yay! Thanks for watching, best of luck to you!

[@GardenloveHomestead]

Where did you purchase those arch, I want one for my garden. They're beautiful 😍

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

A local welder made them for me - he's not making them anymore, but most welders would be able to make them.

[@GardenloveHomestead]

@@GrowingInTheGarden oh wow, thank you for responding. I heard you mention that after I submitted the message. Lol.

[@lindadavis4352]

You compost bins appear to be buried. Did you just place them, then fill the area with fill dirt for temperature control? Just curious how you turn the compost, etc. Thank you.

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

The bottoms are cut off, they aren't buried. I just life them up off - Here is more info: growinginthegarden.com/how-to-compost-10-simple-steps/

[@mobilenotaryphoenix]

I’m so happy to have found you! I’m in Ģlendale and I’ve got 2 raised and 2 in ground gardens and a ton of questions. My corn failed this summer. My basil is out of control. I seen in another one of your vids that you harvest and freeze your basil. Does it die off? When is the latest to harvest basil? When do you plant your citrus? That’s my next wish list item.

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

You can let basil keep going - it will survive if we have a mild winter. October is the best time to plant citrus. Best of luck to you!

[@cathypage]

Great update! Question: where did you get your sugarcane? I'm very interested in trying some far north Scottsdale

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

Someone gave me a start. I've seen it for sale at Arizona Worm Farm and Inspire Farms in Mesa.

[@marilynroberts6644]

I just realized you live in Arizona ! You will be my person ! Desert gardening is a challenge in my opinion but you've got it mastered.. You've created a green paradise.💜🌱💜

Hi! I love your channel!! I have a sandbox, just as big that is in the ideal spot for raised beds. Question: did you remove the sand before putting your raised beds in or just go right over the sand???

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

My brother (he's the best!) helped us move out all of the sand. We posted it on a free/barter website and someone was happy to come pick it up from the pile we made in the front driveway.

I cut the top layer of bermuda off and then piled on wood chips. So far it's been pretty effective. I've had to pull some Bermuda but not as much as I feared.

I live in Mesa too. The wetter monsoon has really brought in the bugs…..and black widows! What do you do about black widows in your garden?

[@zaria5785]

Bring in the birds?! Maybe add a bird feeder.

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

Black widows are the one big that really creeps me out. I try to be mindful of where they like to be and what their webs look like - spiders are good guys and help out in the garden

[@gracebe235]

@@GrowingInTheGarden……I leave other spiders alone, as they don’t seem to build elaborate webs, and they aren’t poisonous. But black widows can become an infestation….which seems to be what has happened to me. When they start getting all over my trellises of watermelons, cantaloupes, cucumbers, etc., and prevent me from safely reaching into the vines/trellises to keep weaving the vine the way it needs to go, then THEY NEED TO BE done away with! I recently read that black widows are deadlier than a rattlesnake…..oh yeah…..they NEED TO GO! As I was bending over to tend to one of my watermelon vines, I nearly had a black widow right in my face! I wouldn’t go back out there until my husband killed it…..and in a mess of leaves, it’s not that easy to find them. It’s gotten to where I am losing interest in my garden, if I can’t get these under control! Bees, I don’t mind. But the black widows are not simply ‘just a spider’, as far as I’m concerned…..and they can become an infestation.

I had 4 flame seedless grapes - two red, two purple - on the west wall, mostly sun. Grape moths drove us crazy the first few years, tons of their baby larvae on the back of leaves. UGH. I'm down to one purple now, the other three killed by subterranean termites. Our neighborhood is one of those flood irrigation zones in the summer. We don't participate, but since others do, the termites take over everything everywhere.
