Gardening in Phoenix, Arizona

This site is dedicated to sharing my experiences in trying to grow plants that are not native to the Phoenix area. We all have passions and Gardening is one of mine. I live in central Phoenix on an irrigated lot with a greenhouse that I built in the backyard. The greenhouse keeps me out of trouble (for the most part) and expands the type of plants I can try to grow. It currently holds about eighty orchids. I will be posting pics to share of the orchids in bloom and what is going on in the backyard and in my vegetable garden, which is currently being ignored.
