Last year's garden consisted of 3 raised beds, 4 ft x 8 ft. Here's a list of things that I've had success with in 2007. This year I hope to expand that by 3 more beds - especially since half of Bed #1 is devoted to Bearded Irises, half of Bed #2 is in planted in strawberries, and all of Bed #3 is filled with sleeping garlic at the moment.
Herbs:
- Basils
- Lemon Balm
- Rosemary
- Garlic
- Oregano
- Sweet Marjoram
Vegetables:
- Tomatoes
- Sugar Snap Peas
- Yellow Wax Bush Beans
- Black Eye Peas
- Zucchini
- Yellow Squash
Flowers:
- Sunflowers
- Bearded Irises
- Desert Mallow

I was told that tomatoes don't set fruit here in summer because the high temps (we can go weeks at temps over 100, day and night) kill the pollen, so no pollination, no fruit.
I'm glad you found my blog. It's good to have another desert dweller to compare notes with.
I am so out of tune with my seasons here - I should have started tomatoes in December, to set out in late January. It's so weird to be so out of sync with what what we used to call 'normal'.
