Looks terrific! I am a bit jealous of your Arizona weather. My tomatoes are still waiting for the cold nights to warm up and are currently sprawling on the kitchen counters.

And your dd is gorgeous!

Looking good. Im in arizona too, much more south than you though. My seeds have all started sprouting as well. Did you start the tomatoes from seed? they are big already. Its still a little chilly here at night so i started later. I can't wait to see your garden later.

Looks great! I'm putting in raised beds this year and doing sfg, too! I have my plants and seeds on the table. Just have to put more rabbit gold in my bed first!

Beautiful garden, I am jealous.

What kind of camera do you have, I WANT ONE! You take amazing photos! Very stunning!

Ah, Arizona, my birthplace! How I miss being able to grow grapefruits, lemons, oranges, tangerines, kumquats and pomegranates right in the yard! On the other hand, I do love having seasons here in Chicago. Best wishes for your beautiful garden!

Wow Shellie! You take beautiful pictures! I'm also jealous of your weather! I'm also wondering what you started from seed? I have had a garden 4 years now & each year I get lazier & lazier! We planted garlic in the fall & that takes up half of our space. We also have raised beds SQ FT style. But looking at your pics I want to create some more garden space in our yard! Great job! I hope you update us too!

You won't be jealous when it's 117 here and the tomatoes will no longer set fruit! LOL Thanks, my dd is a sweetie...I'm quite enamored with her!

I bought the tomatoes in mid-Feb. already started. Well, the huge San Marzano I picked up at Costco and it was already quite large (too big for the cage really...we're going to cut the cage off and make a teepee, I thinkg).

Thank you! I have a 40D and a Rebel XSi...these were taken with the Rebel and the 50mm f/1.4. I'm a portrait photographer but have gotten interested in non-human subjects lately.

Thanks - I really want to grow citrus trees but I'm not sure we have enough room here. Seasons--what are seasons?

Aw, thanks. Though I can't take credit for the weather. Most of what's thriving right now were nursery starts but I did start the carrots, radishes, corn and sunflowers from seed. I'm about to put in watermelon, cantaloupe, cukes and more squash from seed. I did try to start container romaine from seed but they never came up so I'll have to try again.

That's on perk about the weather here is we can grow something pretty much year round. It's been hard to get into that mentality though!
