Hello there, nice to meet you- I'm alright thanks!

It's been kind of a bad year for gardening- earlier in the year the sunflowers I was raising got dehydrated while I was away (I suppose the person I asked to water them must have forgotten), and they didn't make it. I tried again, but a wildfire choked the sky with smoke for about a week and made it colder than it should have been so they got leggy and stunted.

We had another really bad wildfire again in November that blocked out any sun and caused temperatures around here to get to freezing at night, and the plants I was growing didn't care for that.

Right now though I have several pots of daisies growing, some carrots, some spinach, a tomato plant, a spearmint plant, strawberries, several volunteer tree saplings (unidentified so far), and I have plans to expand with several winter vegetables like acorn squash, more varieties of carrots, more spinach, and some herbs like peppermint and parsley.

I'm actually looking to get into gardening professionally, getting a license to open up a nursery and see if I can't make that a seasonal, if not yearly source of income.

Oh wow! I stumbled onto your profile and saw Gardening and was like 

I MUST BEFRIEND

I don't do a whole bunch of gardening myself due to SERIOUS allergies, but I do watch my mom everyday when she does out. We kind of been trying to turn our backyard into a forest or at least just a personal oasis. We built a pond in the back from scratch its been pretty up's and downs with us leaving near the mountains so we get extra creatures always trying to eat our fish. Such as owls, snakes, hawks, coyotes and more.

Right now we have growing for the fall harvest, we have like several different kinds of lettuce growing, spinach, carrots, sweet potatoes, broccoli, cauliflower, sweet peas, green beans, lemon cucumbers, market-more cucumbers, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, purple, bell pepper, jalapenos, cabbage, beets, celery, green onions, swiss chard, various herbs, and about 4 different types of cherry and large paste tomatoes. plus much more than I can not remember. 

I uses just hover over here as she plucks, weeds and waters til i can't breathe and run inside for meds. I want to grow it big and wild to the point when you walk out our back doors you don't see.. boring Arizona landscape you see like a nature wonderland.
