Arizona Garden in June - Which VEGETABLES & FLOWERS to PLANT & how to SURVIVE THE HEAT!

[@LesleyLizbeth]

I still find myself coming here year after year :)

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

I'm so glad! Thank you!

[@juliehartman9347]

I would love to see this as a monthly series! I'm a gardening newbie and this is so perfect for us heat dwellers!

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

That's the plan. In the meantime if you have questions about a particular month, I have a blog post for each month of the year on my blog as well. growinginthegarden.com/category/this-that/this-month-in-the-garden/

[@cube3634]

You could sell the 12 month series as a dvd ! I would be interested in buying that very high quality guide . Thank you !

[@barbaralong8665]

Look forward to your next monthly. Very helpful. It is going to be hot year

[@jeffcollins1172]

This is the best garden show for me! I live in Tucson. Since I’ve been following your advice, my garden is doing great! I’ve had more tomatoes this year than ever. Thanks, keep up the great work!

[@mckenzielarson7429]

You look familiar! Realized your my old next door neighbor! Every summer I try to grow flowers and always fail thanks to you I think I can do it this summer!

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

Hi, neighbor! Thanks for watching and saying hi!

[@veronicacarlson586]

I'm so glad I found your KZbin page. This is my 3rd summer with new construction backyard. So much to learn

[@solcruz5612]

Very helpful! Thank you 🙏🏼🥰

[@krissycus]

Your videos are immensely helpful! I am totally flabbergasted by some of my plants. My cabbage and cauliflower won't form heads (too hot now?), my mulberry tree has some yellow patches of leaves (too much water or too little?) and my zucchinis are so puny it's hilarious. My cucumbers have numerous flowers but no fruits forming. Its my first year arizona gardening and I"m learning that maybe Fall gardening will be more successful for me! I am managing to keep all these plants alive though, which is quite an accomplishment considering zero rain and triple digits.

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

Keep it up! You've got this!

Thanks!

[@janicedias_sowgrowanddiy]

A great video again. You're voice is very calming 🙂 The Red Sun Sunflower is stunning and the Frog Eggplant is cute. Seeing them for the first time.. 👌 We are having a very hot summer in the UAE already n this is just the start..🥵 my balcony garden is struggling although I just get 4 hours of direct sunlight..

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

Thank you so much, I appreciate your kind words. My advice for containers is always get as large of a container as possible and fill it all the way with good soil. Hot summers make gardening a challenge for sure. Thanks for watching and hello from Arizona 🌵

@@GrowingInTheGarden Another question. Where did you get that arbor from ? mix of wood and metal looks pretty.

[@reneepren]

I found the link to your watering system on your website and I’m thinking about getting it but my question is can you lift it up to till the soil and do you have to disconnect it to do that? I would love to see a video about it. Thanks.

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

You can lift it up and to the side - Here's a video with more information: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fYmwpH-krdCCe7c

[@carolynschlobohm1381]

I planted my sweet potato slips given to me last month but the lizards ate them up. Next year I'll cage them. I did not suspect that the lizards would eat them. I have found they will eat anything young. Any tips on how to keep the lizards from chewing stuff to the ground (without hurting them) would be helpful. Thanks

[@shellybaldenegro1160]

I’m a patio gardener and my tomatoes didn’t seem to get any bees. I put them outside and they look like they were frying. Can you you tell me what I need to do please?

[@glow1815]

What types of fertilizer do you use to get the flowers to bloom in June? I planted my flowers in March after 3-4 weeks the flowers are gone. Doesn't look pretty anymore 🙁

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

I don't use a lot of fertilizer - I do add lots of compost to my soil regularly, I think that helps. Each year is so different.

[@MustangAXF]

Hi Angela, too late to plant June's seeds? Shall I focus on your July seeding recommendations?

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

I'd use the July guide at this point

[@MustangAXF]

@@GrowingInTheGarden Sounds good. Have a great Holiday weekend!

[@VennasNature]

Hello I live in East Mesa and I am considering replacing my lawn with Red Creeping Thyme. Can you suggest the best seed for this application.

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

I'm not sure, I haven't tried that before.

[@VennasNature]

@@GrowingInTheGarden Thank you

[@jocelynsoria2590]

None of my plants are doing anything. My tomatoes aren’t setting. Neither are my three tomatillo plants. Do you think fertilizing would help right now? Is it too hot? I’m in buckeye. I’m so jealous of your garden. It’s beautiful!

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

June is the toughest months for us low desert gardeners. They are probably going into summer dormancy and trying to stay alive. If they stay alive through June, when the humidity of the monsoon comes they should perk up a bit. If they don't, then try planting again in late July or August. I wouldn't fertilize anything right now. Hang in there.

[@jocelynsoria2590]

Growing In The Garden oooook no fertilizer. I figured it might be a bad time. Everything is definitely alive, so we will see. Thanks for your help!

[@anaceciliahannickel5814]

Such a helpful video! Your garden is absolutely gorgeous. One question. U mentioned needing to harvest the Roma tomatoes when they turn pink to prevent the birds from getting them. So I’m guessing they’ll continue to ripen after being picked? Just keep at room temp?

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

Yes, I have a basket I keep them in on the counter. Tomatoes ripen quickest if you put them stem side down (which with Roma's is nearly impossible) but Roma's will ripen up within a day or two.

[@bravomike1969]

Where did you get your arch trellises ?

[@vandthebees9249]

I’m in Chandler and have a horrible time with whiteflies and spider mites. Any advice to control them during this time of year?

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

This is what I use amzn.to/3gKr9DH - you may have to replace them often at first, but once you break the reproductive cycle it slows them down.

Where do you get lisianthus starters?? I’m in Gilbert!

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

Summerwinds Nursery often has them.

[@ashleylicano4150]

Your green beans looked like they were sun burned. Do you let these continue and try to thrive or do you pull them? I have a bean bed that's starting to look a little sunburned and Im not sure if I should just pull them all and replant in another location with a little more shade.

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

Got several good harvests from these plants, but it's getting too hot for regular bush beans to do well. So if they are struggling (as these are) then I pull them. You can't replant the beans in another location. They don't transplant well. You could try giving them some shade where they are and see how they do.

[@478Johnnyboy]

2:36 I can not get my luffa to germinate for anything. I soak the seeds for 24hrs nothing. My next attempt will be to start indoors on a heat mat and try to place them outside as soon as the germinate in the evening.

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

I've had better luck with not soaking. They do like warm temps so a heat mat may help.

[@478Johnnyboy]

@@GrowingInTheGarden I do have a heat mat. Do I need to wait for 2 sets of leaves to form once they germinate or can I pluck them out as soon as they sprout and plant them in soil at night after the sun is down?

[@annereyes6394]

Can I still grow watermelon at this time I’m also from Arizona in casa grande thank you

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

Watermelon does better when started earlier in the year, plant during March - April.

[@debrawilson333]

How do you get seeds from black eyed peas you buy from the store? We also live in a desert area but our big box stores have hardly any variety and hardly any organic.

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

www.nativeseeds.org/collections/cowpeas Native Seeds Search has a great selection of desert adapted seeds. They have a couple of black eyed pea varieties available right now.

You don’t have shade for all your plants yet they’re thriving… how come my plants are turning crisp and some dying ?

Depends on the plant - some take full sun better than others.
