This helps so much, living in mohave desert is certainly a challenge to garden not only scorching Sun, no rain but clay soil and high ph so soil has to be composted amended. Then to fund the plants that can grow here yup a challenge. Thank you for the list.
Ps: Nevermind, I found your Menu …
Do you sell desert area veggies seeds? I somehow missed them. Thanks
