It would seem that today is the start day for our new desert garden. I have more than a little apprehension for this undertaking since, being a from the Midwest, Indiana to be exact, I haven't much of any idea how gardening works in the Sonoran desert.
We have decided on the spot for our little garden and selected an area of approximately 15 by 25 feet. Our house shades it from the hot, late afternoon sun and it would seem to get about 6-7 hours of direct sunlight.
Today we are going to purchase a garden tiller. We have decided on an electric model as our area is small and I don't really like having to deal with the noise and mess of a gasoline model either. Hopefully it will be powerful enough to turn our somewhat sandy soil and mix in the fertilizer we will pick up at the same time.
Still have to decide on watering system and narrow down what crops we're going to try at the same time. More on that later.
