Scorching temperatures and sandy soil -- finally, your search for a gardening guide designed for you is over! Do you live in a desert state and wish the climate was better suited for cultivating a lush and productive garden? Do you watch all the gardening shows, longing for a thriving vegetable patch and the skills to feed your family from your own backyard? You're certainly not alone. NPR reported a gardening boom last year, with more and more people interested in growing their own produce and honing their home-growing skills -- and gardening fever isn't dying down. Although the extreme heat, low humidity, and difficult soil puts many would-be desert gardeners off growing their own produce... they're missing a trick. The conditions may be difficult, but that doesn't mean you can't produce an abundant harvest in your own backyard. The variety of produce coming out of Arizona is enough to realize just how fruitful desert gardening can be: Arizona is the only state in the USA with four separate desert regions, yet we see citrus fruits, nuts, and green vegetables being grown in abundance. The problem for the home enthusiast is that the majority of gardening resources target the masses: those who live in temperate climates with good rainfall. But if you live somewhere with extreme temperatures and low rainfall, you've probably found that most of the advice is meaningless to you. What you need is a guide specifically designed for gardening in desert climates... and with the right guidance, you'll be surprised by how easy it is to achieve the kitchen garden you've always dreamed of. In Modern Guide for Organic Desert Gardening, you'll find a comprehensive guide to help you start a thriving desert vegetable garden -- despite the hostile conditions. You'll discover: The specific challenges of growing in sandy soil -- recognized and navigated How to unlock the 'gardener's mindset' and banish those doubts for good The full range of desert conditions unpacked and demystified The #1 threat to a desert vegetable garden (and how you can confidently protect against) How to team up with the sun and the rain so they don't work against you Essential tools for the desert gardener -- and exactly what to do with them The most important factor you must pay attention to for successful desert gardening How to choose the right gardening style and layout for your unique space The best crops to grow in desert conditions (broken down by season) Straightforward sowing, planting, and harvesting guidelines for a wide range of edible crops to set you up for success And much more. If you thought it was impossible to grow your own food in a desert climate, or if you thought even trying would be more trouble than it's worth, think again. It's time to open the back door and see what your land has to offer you -- because the truth is, it's more than you ever dreamed possible. There's nothing more satisfying than serving up your own produce... apart from maybe if it's produce you grew!

“Growing Food in the High Desert County” is a comprehensive gardening book with emphasis on growing vegetables. The author seeks to help the high desert dweller cope with the problems of raising plants in a dry land. From practical experience, she learned that her familiar East coast gardening techniques were not suitable to the high country so she developed the special methods given in this book. In addition to vegetables, Ms. Weinberg discusses various aspects of fruit tree culture in the high desert and drought-tolerant perennials, shrubs and trees. A special chapter on common garden pests tells how to control them without the use of commercial pesticides. JULIE BEHREND WEINBERG studied organic horticulture and agriculture at Goddard College. She has written weekly garden columns for both the “Santa Fe Reporter” and “The Santa Fe New Mexican.”

What's the best time to plant or prune? When should you fertilize fruit trees? What's the earliest date to set out tomato plants? Gardeners in the desert Southwest can't rely on books that try to cover the whole country. Summer heat, less rain, and shorter, unreliable growing seasons are important factors in the desert. That's why The Desert Gardener's Calendar can be essential to gardening success. Whether you're raising vegetables, nursing citrus trees, or just trying to keep your front yard looking its best, you'll find that this handy book gives you a valuable month-by-month perspective on the year. It helps you to focus on necessary activities and reminds you of simple tasks you might overlook. It's especially valuable for people who've moved to the desert regions from other parts of the country and follow old gardening dates that seldom apply to their new home. The Desert Gardener's Calendar is a guide to the maintenance you need to do to keep your garden flourishing and your landscape attractive throughout the year. It combines the month-by-month gardening and landscaping activities from two separate books by George Brookbank--Desert Gardening, Fruits and Vegetables and Desert Landscaping--and was created in response to readers who have found the calendar sections of those books especially invaluable. And because not all deserts are the same, Brookbank is careful to point out differences in scheduling encountered by gardeners in low- and middle-elevation regions in California and the Southwest. "I believe," says the author, "that if you use this calendar and let your judgment become more accurate with experience, you'll soon be doing everything right." Although that might suggest a day when you don't need this book, chances are good that, if you're a desert gardener, right now you do.
