Extend Your Gardening Season 

September 6, 2024 By FBN Leave a Comment

As summer winds down and fall approaches, there’s still plenty of gardening to do and exciting ways to celebrate the upcoming season. With the cooler temperatures and the benefits of monsoon moisture, this time of year is an excellent time to plant trees and shrubs. Your soil temperatures are actually warmer now than in spring, which helps tree roots acclimate more easily and reduces the risk of “transplant shock.” The cooler air temperatures also mean less stress on your new trees.

Make Your Garden Firewise

August 4, 2024 By FBN Leave a Comment

Our forests are densely packed, there have been historic droughts and every year, temperatures have been rising. According to the National … [Read more...] about Make Your Garden Firewise

Composting from Landfill to Landscape

July 5, 2024 By FBN Leave a Comment

Protecting Your Garden from Spring Frosts

May 1, 2024 By FBN Leave a Comment

As the winds die down and the temperatures climb this spring, it’s rewarding to see how wonderfully your veggie plants are beginning to grow, unfurling their leaves and forming delicious edibles.  It’s also easy to forget that late spring frosts can jeopardize your young plants.  This isn’t as much of a challenge for cold season veggies – frost-tolerant plants such as peas, broccoli, kale, cabbage, spinach, carrots, radishes and scallions that can withstand the vagaries of Flagstaff’s … [Read more...] about Protecting Your Garden from Spring Frosts
