Among the easiest vegetables to plant are radishes. Once you sow seeds directly in the garden, expect them to be harvest-ready by the third week! Check out the second photo to see how fast radishes can grow within 24 hours. A fun project for anyone, especially with kids!

Another easy to grow (and popular) vegetable are snap beans, both bush and pole type. From now through mid-September, you can direct sow and expect them in no time. #simplethingsinlife 🧑‍🌾

We're at Grace Lutheran Church today for a little mid-week gardening session. Here in the low desert climate, Fall is one of the two optimal growing seasons (Spring being the other). Today, we sowed seeds outdoors in their Garden of Grace. 🧑‍🌾 #sowingseeds #autumnvibes, #arizona

Have you tried planting cantaloupes 🍈this year? We're getting plenty popping up in our garden. Aside from being heat and drought tolerant plants, these fruits are best suited for low desert gardening. 🌱☀️

Did you know that Armenian cucumbers have both male and female flowers? Why is this important? For fruits to grow, male flowers must be transferred to the female flower, done by bees 🐝 or hand pollinating. If bees are not present, there will be little to no fruit. #urbanfarming

Summertime is basil time here in the Southwest, and even though our friends grow well in the desert, they still need shade (ideally around noon or so)! 🌱And if you're out today, don't forget to hydrate! 💧Stay safe. It's hot out there!☀️ #basil #phoenix #healthiswealth #garden
