Gardening in Tucson is often met with failure. The more you know about the climate, the limitations of the environment, and plants you are seeking to grow - the more likely it is that you'll succeed.Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12461600014446853297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1414505450356893387.post-87266292770261136532012-07-19T11:44:51.871-07:002012-07-19T11:44:51.871-07:00Your information is very helpful.

Good thing I have the peppers growing too since it doesn't look like my tomatoes will survive this time of the year! And I am going to get the cucumbers and beans in the ground soon. I will check out Sierra Mining for the soil. Thank you very much for the information.Rich Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15049183832005048958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1414505450356893387.post-81774269264107588732012-07-18T16:58:11.154-07:002012-07-18T16:58:11.154-07:00Dear Rich,

They sell the best quality compost for the price - as long as you have a truck to haul it in. You can find them at: http://www.sierramining.net/materials/index.htm <br /><br />Another very helpful organization is the Tucson Organic Gardeners, who meet every 3rd Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12461600014446853297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1414505450356893387.post-57054527483517190642012-07-18T08:02:12.661-07:002012-07-18T08:02:12.661-07:00Sorry Jay.

I am starting a raised garden bed and I'll be buying soil from the big box store. So soil quality shouldn't be too much of a problem. I figured I will need to have a shade cloth over the plants if I put them in the ground in two weeks.Rich Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15049183832005048958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1414505450356893387.post-76479211412576634862012-07-17T20:21:32.236-07:002012-07-17T20:21:32.236-07:00Dear Rich,

I could tell you my experience from Tucson (desert USDA Hardiness Zone 9a) but that may not help where you live. Even within Tucson there are microclimates depending upon your geography, what plants are in the area, and the composition of your soil.Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12461600014446853297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1414505450356893387.post-26671706396316568612012-07-17T13:26:23.004-07:002012-07-17T13:26:23.004-07:00I love your blog and all the information you provi...I love your blog and all the information you provide. I am trying to start a garden for the fall so I can feed my family fresh vegetables. I have tomato plants inside that are approximately 5 inches tall. I also have bell peppers that are around 2 inches tall. Are the tomatoes going to die if I plant them outside in two weeks?Rich Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15049183832005048958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1414505450356893387.post-57963614354322093712012-07-16T15:41:31.256-07:002012-07-16T15:41:31.256-07:00Thanks for the reply, Enrico!
