So here it is, the picture of our first cauliflower!
Looks pretty decent as far as I can tell. The plant was not the least bit affected by the mid 20 degree temps we have been having. In fact, the leaves of the cauliflower plants are looking better than ever since we've had this cold weather.
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!

Unknown insect in my Arizona garden bed
Anyone have an idea on what this bug is called? Is this a beneficial insect? It is a mostly green-ish insect and as the saying goes, "if it greens it's good", however I know there are exceptions to the rule so I thought I'd post a image or two and find out if anyone might know something about this insect.

Small metal fence for our garden
I found this cool looking orange, white and rust colored mini fence out in the desert a while back. I finally have a use for it now that our raised garden beds have plants in them! The other cool thing is that our star jasmine which is planted behind our raised bed has attatched itself to this mini fence. It should look really neat until the plants grow over it :)
The entire length of this mini fence is about 3' to 3 1/2'. It's a cool piece of garden art I think!
