This is Jane's Desperate Garden! I am in the process of preparing my garden for the spring 2009 season. It is a 12 x 12 x 20 raised bed garden that was built in 1998 and sits in the northwest corner of my backyard. It was filled with organic soil and I continue to amend it annually by adding worms, organic compost and organic PWP. (Chicken do!!) My watering system is both overhead sprinkler ( for seeds ) and direct emitters (for plants) and is on it's own valve. I have tried several watering systems and this one works by far the best! By this time next week you will see a planted garden.

Here is the link for Maricopa County Planting Guide: http://ag.arizona.edu/pubs/garden/az1005.pdf

This will give you the planting dates for vegetables - both seeds and plants.
