I’d also check out your local Master Gardeners’ extension, they usually have the most growing knowledge for your specific area.

I guess I mean both. We are new to the desert, recently moving from PA. I would love to know what grows well here, both through the winter and during the summer months.
I have tomatoes and peppers growing now. How often should they be watered? What kind of suppliments does the sandy soil need? What time of year can I grow lettuce and spinach?

Can you please be more specific?

Do you mean: What vegetables do well in a desert climate?

Or do you mean: Tips and tricks for growing in the desert?

Thanks!
