So, we have four growing season here. really. Our mild winters lend well to crops all winter long. Anything that can take a light frost rarely if ever needs to be covered at all. And in next few weeks we can plant for one last burst of growth before the summer plantings (which is actually a smaller number) See the growing calendar here or in the side bar from the Urban Farm in Phx.
However, the more that I learn about nutrient-dense growing (better than organic - just how Nature would like to have it if she could have her way around us), the more I wonder if we are missing out on more than what we realize. Tomatoes, pepper, and others can grow and bear perennially here. Wouldn't you like to eat a tomato out of your yard... any month of the year? I sure would.
Here is a video and low key method to gardening that is definitely worth a look. If nothing else at all, it is a little hands on, free yard improvement. And a summer later (or longer), If you end up enjoying the results, then plant a few seeds. What can it hurt? = nothing really. And it could provide a great deal of benefit. So take a look at the video and see if you too are inspired to call a tree trimmer ;) http://backtoedenfilm.com/
(and since you may not be able to water your own yard or be legally free to even collect rain water in States and Federal in some not far distant future, It would be wise to be trust in the science under your feet. This brings to mind a certain story though)
