Despite my many setbacks, one of my neighbors must have been inspired by my perspiration in my garden because they decided to start a garden of their own.
The only place in their yard that has a good place for a garden is on the north
side of the house. This enables them to grow things that would grow in a little
bit cooler climate. However, growing in Tucson is always
a challenge in the summer.

My neighbor's garden with peppers, sweet potato, potato, carrots and onion |
They are currently growing some onion, some regular potatoes
and a few pepper plants. I gave them a sweet potato.

I'm hoping these regular potatoes produce well |
Hopefully everything grows
well through the summer – perhaps they’ll have a little more luck than I do
with some of these varieties.

Nice to know when we have inspired folks...I also gave away tomato seedlings to neighbors and friends who excitedly give me updates.
