Hello from the heat of Phoenix
I grew up farming in Indiana and moved to Phoenix in 1979. In the past 10 years I've finally figured out a good plan to grow great tomato crops in the middle of town. Hope to learn more here and share some knowledge I've acquired.
Thanks for the add.

Welcome from NE PA. My son lives in Scottsdale and we will be visiting in June after all the tomatoes and Eggplants are planted. Don’t know how you grow vegetables in Phoenix between the heat and critter!
