Can I grow a garden in Phoenix, AZ?

Raye Tredennick: You sure can! But many plants available are often subtle looking, usually a grass or cactus type plant. Although some cacti grow flowers, don't expect to plant any beautiful bright flower gardens

Rodrigo Pezley: High temperatures, both day and night for extended periods of time, low humidity, and the high solar intensity can put tremendous stress on plants. In addition, some plants may not survive freezing temperatures if there is a hard winter frost. Select varieties that are tolerant of temperature extremes, plant at the appropriate times to avoid temperature extremes, or plan to protect the plants. It is possible to grow crops out of season by providing shade, more humidity, artificial heat, etc. You have two optimal growing seasons: one in the spring, the other in the fall. Both day length and temperature vary dramatically between seasons (short days and cold temperatures in winter to long days and extreme temperatures in summer). Since few annu! al plants are suited to thrive in both conditions, it is important to choose plants that mature quickly to ensure a full life cycle within one season.From Vegetable Planting Calendar for Maricopa County, Arizona Extension ServiceGrowing a Backyard Vegetable Garden in Phoenix , Arizona http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1uvGLtpHaE
