Dear Folks,
Weather Watch / ALERT! - Don't let the lovely temperatures this coming weekend distract you from frost protecting your tender plants. A system looks to be moving in around January 31st / February 1st that may drop day time temps into the 50s and night time temps below 32. Keep those frost and hail coverings available until mid-March. Pay attention to the overnight forecasts - if 40 or lower have the covers ready. Systems can speed up or stall changing the "landing" time.

Free Lectures Coming Up! Mark Your Calendars - January 30th & February 20th
Dear Folks,
This coming Saturday I will be talking on the subject of Edible Flowers at the Old Town Scottsdale Farmers Market.
All of the beauty and usefulness of flowers can be found in Edible options instead of many pretty but toxic flowers. Come on out, see and learn all the variety to have something blooming in your gardens year round, for your enjoyment, along with the hummingbirds, butterflies, bees and other beneficial insects.
Old Town Scottsdale Farmers Market
Saturday, January 30, 2016 - 9 a.m.
3806 North Brown Avenue,
Scottsdale, Arizona
The transition time from late Winter to Early Spring in our desert gardens can be a bit of a challenge. Are we going to get frost? When is the last frost day? Do we sow seeds or transplant seedlings? What types/varieties of edibles should you plant?
I will address these and other factors for the gardener heading into spring and summer in the desert garden. Unlike 4-season areas, if you plant at the right time for the variety you can have an edible garden year round in the desert!
Mesa Urban Garden (MUG)
February 20, 2016 - 1:30 p.m.
Sow, Plant, "Mulch", Protect
Late Winter/Early Spring in The Desert
How To Grow Successfully

I hope to see you at these events. Have a Best Day,
