What Winter?
I suppose for most of my northern hemisphere readers, this time of year is a transition to less desirable weather, but I have to say, I love this time of year. Our summer is over, our monsoons have ended. It's beautiful.
From now until the end of May, we'll be enjoying the outdoors again. I've just reduced the watering time for my plants and lawn, but we'll just be starting our fun yard work in the next couple of weeks. We need to take out some grass, plant a garden and get some additional trees planted in the back yard. The kids are playing outside, so the bikes and scooters are finally getting some use again.
Oh, and now we can finally open the windows and let some air in the house! What a great time of year!

Yup...this IS the reason why you live in AZ. To enjoy the wonderful winters. I often forget during the scorching hot summer...
What garden items are you planning? I think we are going to at least plant peas, and some cucumbers. We actually had cucumbers survive the summer, I was shocked! (we planted them in April) We picked what is probably the last 2 cucumbers from the plants today.
Here is a site that looks really helpful..
