Many people think the only thing we grow in Arizona is cactus. But this big lemon balm comes back every year with no help from me. The only thing I do is harvest the fragrant leaves and make delicious tea.On the right is a photo of tennie tiny grapes on the vine.These come back every year with only a few watering's in the early summer and fall. I hope I get some this year before the curved-billed thrasher eats them all.
I also have tiny tomato and basil plants inside the house. We usually get a freeze right before Easter so I am not taking any chances. Beans, cucumbers and summer squash are planted after April 15th. So are you planting a victory garden this year?
