***Official gardening, landscape and yardwork thread***

We had a 2014 gardening thread and another planting trees thread. Figured it would be better just to have a general thread to share knowledge about all things yards.

I've learned stuff about growing things here in the desert from people all around the country. Post pictures and share your knowledge!

Have not. I may give it a shot.

Yeah at some point the whole pool needs resurfaced. Honestly, not a fan of pebbletech. It just feels too rough and tough on feet. A lot of the colors makes pools look dark too. I like the smooth surface of plaster and it's bright blue/green water look. I am probably in the minority on not liking pebbletech, I know.

I think I'll get a hoop for next summer. By then he'll be 3 and possibly interested.

Yea. I was referencing more of an aesthetic thing. Pebbletech is the devil, considering the whole sweeping thing I mentioned earlier. And you gotta have a nicer octopus. More expensive all around. My next pool will have an aeration outlet at the steps. Why wouldn't you (considering you could control it independently). And a mister system all up underneath the pool edge. And kick ass lighting to light that fog up.

Anyway, nice jungle.

Lewdog-do you plant colorful perennials that are normally cooler weather and just water the hell out of them and keep them in shade?

You have flower or raised garden boxes?

I miss the colorful stuff I grew back east

Nothing lasts in the summer here outside of Vincas, which I love and they LOVE the heat. Other than that, what you liked blooming back East could probably be grown here in late fall and through winter. Think opposite of normal gardening instincts here! Poppies do well here in winter and add nice color. Late fall sprinkle wildflower seeds and starting in February you'll see a huge mixture grow and look nice into May.

Read this. It's all about planting time here as we absolutely get enough sun and there's not enough frost to worry about.

https://cals.arizona.edu/extension/o...erplanting.pdf

I have a raised bed for vegetables. Basically plant what you want each year as trying to shade cloth and protect in summer is basically pointless outside of keeping pepper plants from year to year. Winter veggies are very easy here and are planted Aug-September (could still plant now as it's still so hot!). These include carrots, brocoli, beets, lettuce, radishes (super easy), onions.

I've had a guy out the last few days rebuilding my koi pond that was damaged in the derecho. I'll never be able to replace my fish but damn, the guy is doing great work. I'm excited to see it with water in it.

I have 5500 brassicas in for the fall garden. I’ll post pics if I get around to it.

Tried to post pictures of the summer crops but the upload failed.
