Reviews

I probably wouldn't have even known that I could grow sweet potatoes, or that I could be successful with onions, if it weren't for Angela's expertise. Her garden logs help me to better tune in to what can be done at what times in the Phoenix area.
I have gardened for many years but most gardening information is not specific to the desert of AZ. The thing I find the most beneficial is the gardening journal. I look forward to that email every couple of weeks to see what I need to be doing at this specific time for our climate and weather.
As a relatively new gardener, I've gained a lot of knowledge from many sources, I've found Angela's knowledge to be some of the most valuable, as she is in my city and shares my climate. She is a humble gardener, sharing her own successes AND failures without arrogance or shame.
I just wanted to write and say thank you for sharing your garden and knowledge with fellow gardeners. I just crossed one year since I started gardening. I'm entering my second year now and super excited to go back and read all those notes that I took in my first year and see how my garden changes.
