A big storm is headed our way according to the local news reports. It should hit us with a lot of rain and wind sometime after 7pm.
I think I will cover my citrus trees with some frost cloth Sunday night since they are just now starting to burst with new growth. The new growth is what will burn really easily with a freeze. I think everything we have in the garden should be ok without covering. The broccoli and cauliflower are getting HUGE!
Follow along with me as I create and maintain organic raised garden beds and landscape in the extreme and unforgiving Arizona desert! Learn, share and ask questions. Together this garden blog will provide valuable knowledge of working organic principals to create your own mini ecosystem. Let's make the garden the first place you want to go and the last place you want to leave!

Tomatillo not quite ready yet
I was very sad to see my tomatillo plant in the larger raised garden bed dead from high winds and cold weather. I was able to find a pod that was still in semi decent shape and look at the insides.
There is a small green pea like center that is very squishy and gel like but, never squished or popped open. The pod is a paper like covering that didn't make it in my pocket too well.
