Growing up gardening here in the Southwest, I did not always know the why of planting different crops in different seasons, it was just how it was done. Now that I have the Ph.D. I know the science as well, and I know that its all in the genes. Luckily, you dont need to get a degree. This book sorts it out for you and helps you plant the right crop in the right season.
The science of gardening reveals that some plants have tropical ancestors and heat-loving genes, and thus flourish in the warm season. Other plants have genes that help them thrive in cool soils and cooler seasons. Thus, if you want to successfully garden in the Southwest, you need to encourage plants to fulfill their genetic destiny, be it warm or cool.
This is a warm and cool book. And really, isnt that how we garden and approach life too? Oh gee, its April already, what should I be doing right now? If its life, you might be thinking taxes, but if its in the garden, it depends where you live in the Southwest. In April in the Cold Mountains region, some folks have just made their last ski run and are looking to start some nice cool-season crops like greens and radishes. In April in the Low Desert region, temperatures are heading toward triple digits and it is time to plant the warm-season crops like melons and corn. Dont be grumpy that this is not an A to Z book. As garden writer friend Katie Elzer-Peters says, Gardens are not alphabetized. That is what the indices and plant lists are for.
Give yourself permission to get it wrong.
Some of my first memories are of helping in the gardens of my grandparents from both sides. My first scientific experiment was encouraged by my father who taught me about control groups (Lets put cow patties on only half of the plants, honey.) I have been learning about gardening ever since.
A gardening buddy who is now 92 years old claims that he learns new things from his garden each year. This is to encourage you. Gardening is both an art and a science, and Mother Nature keeps changing the playing field with variables such as late frosts and fierce windstorms. I have learned that plants die, and you may never know why, but you need to just keep on experimenting and trying. Did you forget to get your onions in in January in the Middle Desert region? Experiment. Try planting them in February.
