    Just an fyi, overwatering plants, will look exactly like suns scorched plants, and because there are scattered you say scorched, with healthy next to it, would most likely be overwatered. I would check your drip lines to scorched, and also feel soil deep for wetness. And like i mentioned before, most need to be in ground not pots. Good luck! Love watching your channel!❤

      Not true about most need to be in ground. They are just fine. Plants/trees can do great in containers! One does have to root prune every few years. I love my container citrus, cherry and miniature nectarines. I have grown in containers exclusively for years now.

    Just a suggestion. When the sun is so hot mulching with leaves or anything you have to mulch around the roots and the pots helps a whole lot.

      In Louisiana I add mulch like grass clippings, cardboard, leaves, pine straw and rotting branches under my fig trees all year until the trees are growing on sloping mounds beneath the canopy. Blueberries and just about everything needs mulch. All my green grass clippings go directly in my garden and under my fruit trees and it really helps so much. There are no weeds in my garden because the soil stays covered.

    Amazing garden. Maybe consider shading your most sensitive plants with aluminet shade cloth, it'll reflect heat instead of absorbing it. What I do about birds is I build screens with 2x4s and staple hardware cloth on top. I put this over the beds and the birds can't get in, it's like a seed prison! I also do it for raised beds and other plants. Hope things cool down for you, I commend you for being able to keep plants growing in your zone.

    I like the variety of plants you have. It’s very encouraging! I garden in central TX 8b. I’m convinced that the seed companies should have special note on the packets that retains to Texas. Full sun does NOT mean full Texas sun or Texas 8b 😂. Perhaps this applies to AZ as well…

    I bought a pound of cooking pigeon peas from Amazon and they germinate very easy and are growing fast.

    • @baneverything5580
      @baneverything5580 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I grow packages of dry store beans and peas too. They grow great. Black eyed pea pods can be cooked green like asparagus pole beans. Both are cow pea varieties. I planted vining Red Ripper cow peas under my fig trees this year and trained them to cover the ground and they kept the bunnies out of my main gardens, provided ground cover, fixed nitrogen and provided a harvest too. They`re the most heat and drought resistant variety I`ve ever seen. Test plants survived a 2 month drought on dew alone.

    I am so appreciative of your transparency. I was attracted to the title here because I, too, have dozens of trees as a backyard gardener. You did not focus as much on that part as the title suggests, but as a Texan with plenty of sun-scorched plants leafless trees, I loved seeing a "real" garden with yellowing and dead plants. I am now subscribed and I look forward to watching more.

    Wow, your garden has expanded amazingly. Awesome work well done. Last vid I saw you were putting up shade cloth. May I suggest you buy a pop-up gazebo or such. You can use it as a cover over section and use shade cloth over them, even chicken mesh, to stop those birds. It's already made frames that can be moved around. Keep going, you're inspiring, thank you. Wow, I watched when you planted the fig tree alley. Amazing. I would also suggest a bamboo mesh or shade cloth on the actual brick walls to inhibit the heat some. It would be interesting if you actually measure the temperature given off those walls.

    Amazing garden.
    The Arizona sun to me felt like it was very similar to the sun here in Australia. It has a nasty bitе to it so I can only imagine how hard it is to keep all that green!
    Is that lawn fake turf? Do you find it gets really hot?

      Hi there, I bought it on Etsy as a small rooted cutting I believe ! I’ll try and find the name of the shop I bought it from and if I’m able to find it again I’ll come back and edit this comment to let you know!😊
      www.etsy.com/listing/956071191/
      The listing is called 3pk Bay Leaf and the plant shop is called: BellBookCandlePlants

    Hello. I enjoyed your video. I was wondering, have you considered putting out seed for the birds? Maybe it will distract them from your crops. I love that your sister gave the Carmen avocado to honor mother. I hope it recovers. That's a good name. Happy gardening! ☺️❤️

    Nice collection. You need bigger well draining pots to help protect the roots . . Most of those plants need to be in the ground..

  • @michelebushnik2874

    When you grow only in pots, you need to fertilize more. And water more. Trees need to be planted in earth. I would cut the fake turf in spots, and dig down deep enough to plant each tree, or perenial plant you have to give the root system a living chance. They will not survive much longer in pots.

    How do you have plants so close to the air conditioner? It gives off such hot air. Maybe they look closer in the video than they actually are, but if your AC is running a lot, those plants may be too close and getting all that hot air.

    I'm not a tree expert, but I know they need air, in my opinion you have them to close to each other! I know your mulberry will get huge and give you lots of berries but it needs to be in the ground! Good luck!
