So last night I talked with a more “seasoned” member of the community who cultivates a massive garden right here in mesa. So had the kindness to share with me a growing chart for the valley of what to plant and when to plant it. From the looks of her back yard she knew what she was talking about so here you all go with a month tot month break down.The calendar covers the whole year and she explained that we actully have two growing seasons in the valley. For this posting I will only cover this month and next to save space and time.
