Spring Desert Gardening Tips

While winter is still hitting hard in many states this year, March in Phoenix is typically beautiful spring weather, making it a perfect time for gardening. Eager gardeners can start as early as mid-February, but plants that are prepped and planted during March will have enough time to root and appropriately grow before summer’s heat strikes.

If possible, a raised garden bed is recommended to make soil preparation easier.
