Summer is here! It’s getting hot and soon your gardens will start showing heat stress. Don’t stress, because that is the cycle of life here in the desert. You can finish harvesting your bounty! I trust that most of you had success with your spring gardens.
The only advice I can give is to keep on watering until your vegetables are gone. You can plant Armenian cucumbers, okra, and some squash with some degree of success now, but you will have to keep an eye on your moisture levels.
June and July is a time to let your garden rest and in August you can start planning for your fall garden. It is a time to reflect on your hobby and life sustenance. I will be traveling to West Virginia where gardening is in full swing. Maybe I can pick up some tips on gardening to give you this fall. The temp. there is around 80 degrees, so anything grows.
I hope you all have a fun summer. Have a safe and Happy Fourth of July. God bless America!!

Dad,
I agree, your tomatoes look incredible! Eat some for me.
Nice photos, it’s good to see others working hard in the desert! We all need to stick together to bring people information about gardening in the desert. It is good to be able to feed one’s family from your own garden. Keep up the good work!
