Full StoryHello
I am completely new to gardening. My girlfriend however has been in the hobby to one extent or another for a couple of years now. I thought it would be neat to join her.
I am kinda food oriented and easily distracted, so I figured a good way to keep my attention was to try and grow a salsa garden. Here are the plants I am thinking of.
Tomtatillo
Cilantro
Tomato
Onion
Garlic
Anaheim Peppers
Jalapeno Peppers
These will likely all be in containers as we dont really have all that much room.
What I am looking for is general advice, any threads on this forum or others that I should look at, any specific books I should buy or website articles I should read. Keep in mind the following.
1. I am a newbie to this. I have no idea what im doing really.
2. I am a little lazy, I am not totally unwilling to do some work on this, but if its too hard with too little reward, I will likely lose interest (I just know myself and am trying to be honest with my limitations)
3. I live in arizona, this means it is noticeably sunnier and warmer than pretty much anywhere else in North America, I am not certain what affect this will have.
4. I will probably not be starting till mid-october, the local botanical garden has there fall plant sale around this time and this is probably when I will pick up most of the plants.
Any general tips? suggestions? Please point me to the proper sources of information.
Thanx in advance
Rayston
