About

How lucky are we, here in the dry arid desert southwest, to have such great organic gardeners who have somehow defied the odds and actually grow successful crops!  I am not one of them.

But they inspire me to try the impossible.  Little by little, my yard here in Mesa Arizona has grown greener and greener, as I learn from the likes of Ken and Lee Singh at Singh Farms, from Jake Mace and his amazing garden tours, and Jay Barringer of the Phoenix Fruit Growers FaceBook page, and many others.

So I have created this blog - The Desert Gardening Hub - not to recreate what they have done, but to bring all of these awesome people and resources together in one spot for easy access.  So check out the pages - Resources, Plant Sales, YouTube Gardeners, Garden Tours, Classes,and Books.  I welcome any suggestions, additions, or corrections!

Here are a few recent photos from my garden...

February is feeding time for fruit trees!

My Florida Prince Peach tree blossomed early this year before I
even had a chance to prune!  Feb 2nd, 2018
