Starting A Vegetable Garden
There’s nothing quite like a sun-ripened tomato or a fresh salad grown in your own backyard. Choose vegetables that grow well in your climate and be prepared for ongoing maintenance tasks, including weeding and watering.
Vegetables grow best in rich soil that drains well. Be sure to test the texture of your soil before you start planting.
A quick introduction to the Bullhead City Master Gardeners: We are a group of volunteers certified by University of Arizona, Mohave County Cooperative Extension after completing 13-week training course and hours and hours of volunteer service. To maintain our position, we have ongoing continuing education requirements. Our mission is to help members of our community become successful gardeners.
We offer classes every third Thursday of the month at the Mohave Community College campus at 2 p.m., excluding July and August. We also hold a Question and Answer discussion we call Home Garden Day on the second Thursday at 10 a.m. every month at Mohave Community College. All these activities are free to the public. Writing a gardening column is a new venture for us, and we would appreciate your suggestions of topics you would like us to discuss.
