Growing in the Garden

Growing cantaloupes can be incredibly rewarding, but it comes with its own set of challenges. From blossom end rot to pest problems, knowing how to solve these common canteloupe growing problems can make the difference between a bumper crop and a disappointing harvest. Here’s a quick guide to the most common cantaloupe growing problems and their solutions.

Garlic is usually one of the easiest crops to grow, but sometimes, small shoots sprout from the middle of your garlic. Individual cloves sprout and put out new growth instead of maturing. This phenomenon is commonly known as “witches brooming” and, unfortunately, may signal lousy news for garlic growers.

The heat brings important garden tasks—mulching and providing shade are two of the most important ways to help the garden survive the summer. What grows in low desert Arizona gardens in May? I’ll show you. All of these pictures come from my garden in Mesa, Arizona.

Don't Forget to Stake Roselle Plants

A roselle plant is very large and needs plenty of room. Space plants 3-6 feet apart in rows at least 5 feet apart. One or two good-sized plants may be all you need for a bountiful harvest of the beautiful calyces. Provide support for roselle hibiscus. I normally use a length of rebar pounded into the ground (about a foot) as a support. The branches can get very heavy, especially after a rain or once branches are loaded with blooms and calyces.

When to Water Your Garden

Not sure when to water your garden? Use the finger test or a moisture meter to check the soil. Pull back the mulch and stick your fingers an inch or two into the soil – if they come up clean, it's time to water. Use a moisture meter and follow the gauge if you don't want to get your hands dirty.
