I can really see a difference when I water with rainwater 01:18:34 Charlene Doland: Ten Steps to a Successful Vegetable Garden https://extension.arizona.edu/sites/extension.arizona.edu/files/pubs/az1435-2015.pdf 01:20:04 Karen Fasimpaur: One thing to note on drip is that you need to wait until there is no freeze danger to keep it hooked up. 01:20:11 Karen Fasimpaur: This time of year, for me, I'm hand watering. 01:20:27 Karen Fasimpaur: But I do know people who still use drip now, and just connect and disconnect every day 01:22:16 Charlene Doland: Books on growing food available from our libraries can be found at https://cochiselibrary.org/client/en_US/ccld/search/results?qu=gardening&te= 01:26:28 Karen Fasimpaur: Cherry tomatoes are a great thing to start with. They seem to always do well. 01:30:31 Karen Fasimpaur: Fencing is the real answer...Low hoops and netting might keep them out for a while but once they see what they want, they'll go through it 01:31:05 Eric Hess: I use an electric hot wire to keep pigs out of plots. You can stake it around your garden easily 01:31:12 Charlene Doland: Many predators also dislike anything in the onion family. 01:31:22 Karen Fasimpaur: Our javelinas figured out the hot wire after a few weeks... :( 01:31:42 Eric Hess: Lol, I think fence is your only answer. They are tough 01:32:12 Karen Fasimpaur: I do hear that dogs can be good at keeping javelinas out, but no dogs at my house 01:35:41 Amadee Ricketts: Good idea about ground cherries! 01:37:33 Ali: Thanks to you all for a great webinar! 01:39:02 Karen Fasimpaur: Yes, we will email notice of future webinars. (Are you all getting the emails? Sometimes they go to spam so check there too.) 01:41:34 Charlene Doland: Especially true for kids, if they are part of the gardening process, they will try new things more eagerly. 01:42:13 Amadee Ricketts: Thanks to the panelists - and all the attendees who chimed in. I learned a lot!
