But, with some good compost and the early onset of monsoon season in June...hardy har har yes, it kind of sounds like an oxymoron here in the desert, still we can't wait for monsoon season: afternoon thunder storms that cool things down. But now we are expirencing June heat in July ... I think its (EL NINO)I'm not liking that ...at least the tomato blossoms got good and pollinated and I have a bunch already ripening before the 90's hit this week. We are also trying Artichoke which is a bit finicky with its 360 days before fruit. Jeff planted sweet peas as well but a volunteer pumpkin I think.. is taking over. We are being very casual with a garden we just dump water on everything and see if it grows. Not like the summers past when we had 200 ears of corn and a 500 jalepenos. Oh but next year before we landscape we are going hog wild!! Trust me you'll see.
