    Any solutions for birds eating away zinnias? I feel like I’ve tried it all! Thanks again!

    Hi Angela! Are dahlias something that can be grown in Arizona? I haven’t had any luck finding information online. I’m zone 9b. Is there no way to grow them here? Is it the soil? Heat? I saw on the UofA flower planting guide for the low desert and I see dahlias listed but it’s listed as difficulty to grow. Any input is appreciated! Thank you!

    Great channel. I grow a tropical fruit trees forest in my yard, recently been slowly adding flowers to it to makes the wife happy. Do you by chance sell some seeds combo containing most of these flowers? I don’t need much, just a bit of each. Thanks.

    I’m re watching this video today for some inspiration and thinking what will do well in our heat with 3 hours sun which is all I can give for flowers . Prime spots are reserved for tomatoes and peppers .
    I have had success with dwarf marigolds , vinca , blue lobelia , clasping coneflower and alyssum too , my garden being south facing gets sun only in the 2nd half of the year. Will try Snapdragon .
    My all time favourite easy ones for the bees are mustard and basil .

    Was wondering, have you done blueberries, blackberries or raspberries? How do they do with the AZ heat?



  17. Karla Hernandex on June 16, 2021 at 7:59 pm

    I live in Australia in 42 – 46 degrees temperature. I don’t think these will cut it.
