Anyone here have success growing medicinal plants outside, in extreme Arizona heat? I want to start a medicinal garden. Trying to figure out what I can grow outside and what will need to be grown inside. Also wondering if there are any reputable places in Phoenix where I could buy plants like Mormon tea and butterfly weed. 😅
Anyone ever considered growing vines for their own wine? I took this photo at a local winery a while back. I hear growing grapes for wine is extremely difficult and time consuming.
Lizzie We have a few grape plants that should be ready to harvest this year. I have not looked into how much you would need but deffinitly curious!
Heather Stone Someone local to me has a vineyard. I have no idea how they do it!
Hettie We inherited some concord grapes when we bought our rural property three years ago. They are old vines. They seem to thrive on neglect because each year they're heaving with grapes. The birds eat lots of them and we've made some tasty jellies. I would suggest you plant some and see what happens.
This morning a dense fog covered and infiltrated the entire landscape. I went out to hay the horses and saw gorgeous fragile spikes of snowy frost along all the gates, fences, branches, stems, and leaves. This was payment for bundling up and going outside early. A photo would not have captured the beauty. Did anyone else in the upper Midwest observe this brief phenomenon with temperatures a few degrees below freezing?
DeepPlanter I didn’t, I wish you had a photo of it. Sounds amazing!
John Ehrling Welcome to the community Judy!
Heather Stone We had fog in KY today but not freezing I don't think! Maybe it was! I didn't notice any frosty spikes on anything, that sounds lovely!
Can anyone recommend some good tomato varieties for the NorthEast?
