The garlic I planted last spring failed. I knew to plant it in the fall prior but I had just moved and didn't get it in. Last weekend I went out to look at the garden and that damn garlic had shot up and was growing really strongly. I pulled one up and sure as shit it rooted really good over the winter. So I should have some real nice garlic this June.

Not doing a garden this year. With the n00b and having to drive out to it we decided against it this year.

Most of it's in varying stages of indoor growth right now. With maybe one or two exceptions, nothing's going into the ground until May.

i have a pomagranite tree, a cherry tree, a plum tree and a tangerine tree. Cherries are already coming out for this year. Also, have cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, going to try some sugar cane too. WE have a grape vine also, but that shit hasnt given us any grapes, i may have to plant it in a different area.
Some cherries from my tree last year |

I'm bumping this shit. I wanna do some easy to grow stuff in pots down here in Phoenix. From my research it seems peppers and cucumbers are the easy ones to start with in our hot climate. I've never done any gardening in my life.

I've grown a lot of peppers here over the years, they love the sun and heat so they should do real good down there. I like the Anaheims, we stuff them with chorizo and cream cheese. Did jalapenos and pickled them for years but I don't have the ambition for that anymore, it's a lot of work. My mom started a bunch for me this year, I need to get them in the ground before they die. No idea what they are, guess I'll just be surprised when they come up. As long as they're not bell peppers, I hate those ****ing things.

Just keep the cucumbers off the ground (I learned that the hard way), make sure your plants have enough water, and make sure you don't fry them in the containers, and you should be good. You might want to try summer squash, too, since it's an easy grow.

My first group of tomatoes, eggplant and cucumbers went into the ground today. More will go in tomorrow, along with peppers, lettuces and (hopefully) tomatillos. Squashes are going in next week or the week after.

I was thinking bell peppers because I like those sauteed, raw or in salads. I could eat them everyday. Sorry man. I'll make sure to have something else growing when you come to visit. I'm planting these in a container. Any experience with that? 5 gallon out to do it I think or maybe even smaller since I don't need a big yield. Yea both are going in pots so definitely off the ground. Easy to move to patio if the hot ass AZ sun starts scorching them which I heard can happen pretty easily here.
