Hi! I am a young gardener.The truth is, before I discovered this website in December of 2008, I was no gardener to compliment! Dead leaves, decayed plants, and dry soil was an all to common sight in my gardens. But now, with the help of Myfolia (thanks a bunch!), and a little more willingness, I have successfully made a great garden. Some of my favorite foods are organic, like Strawberries, so this really worked out. Many things don’t grow very well in Arizona because of the scorching heat, but, things like Watermelon, Cantaloupe, Honeydew Melon, Corn, Cotton, and others do very well here. I am currently trying to get some pictures up, but it isn’t working.

I love to grow

Any thing that grows well in warm areas, like cactus or tropical fruit. I like to try to grow carnivorous plants as well, but so far nothing sucsessfull has happened. Edible plants are a must.
