I'm a retired educator (teacher/principal) who moved from Northern California to Payson, Arizona in September, 2010.
This blog will chronicle my adventures as I explore a different ecosystem and build my new home.

Everything is Growing!


We are picking lots of garlic and Walla Walla onions from the garden.


Everything that we planted this spring is growing very nicely. Love these Knock Out Roses.


All the plants in the window boxes are happy.


Hot Lips have tripled in size.


Tomatoes are almost here......we have eaten about a dozen so far.


I love Mexican Primrose.

We're hoping for potatoes......always a difficult crop for us to grow.


The rock wall is filling in nicely.


These Morning Glories sprang up from last year.....a beautiful tower.


Lots of cherry tomatoes....Black Cherry, Sweet 100s and Matt's.


We even have eaten some raspberries. I had a little bowl for breakfast yesterday.


Yes.....we have an abundance of zucchini and yellow squash. We are headed to the food bank with some of them.


Corn is coming too!!!!! Randy planted the rows at different times but it looks like they are all going to be ready at the same time. Oh well.....


We really have an excellent cucumber crop!


Today's pickings........

Most folks don't have a garden like we do here. It's just a lot of work and the sun can be brutal on plants. We often have to put shade cloth over some of the plants. Everything is on a drip line and watering often is key. Thank goodness for our well.


Little Ayla is growing too! She's three weeks old. Love this photo....taken with an iPhone and great light.
