As another poster mentioned different parts probably different planting schedules. But how different? I am coming from the north east, VERY DIFFERENT LOL. and finding information for Arizona is difficult as most think it’s impossible. This post was a blessing! Would it only differ depending on high desert or low desert? Say Scottsdale? I look forward to more of your posts!

In reply to Cynthia. Help,help,help. I moved to Arizona nearly 3 years ago. I can't seem to get my garden going due to flippen bunnies and ground squirrels. They eat everything. I was able to grow cantaloupe from seeds last year into beautiful adult plants with flowers. Came out one morning to everything gone to the nub. Tears, tears, and more tears. I have tried everything. Otc repellents of every kind, fences, covers, I even bought a cat. Nothing works.

I’m in the town of Maricopa, I believe it’s the same planting region for the valley. I just planted my seeds in cups. I bring them out in the day and take them in at night. 80 degrees in Jan/Feb is sure going to throw a wrench in gardening this year, I think. I didn’t have a whole lot of luck with buying plants last year, so this year I’m going all in ….and planted seeds. The weather here is mostly extreme and I have yet to perfect my garden. I’m using various sources to identify when to plant, yours seems to be a tad later then ones I was finding. I’m really at a loss at what and when, but this winter is spring like weather so I just decided to use my resources and wing it…here’s to hoping we all have a harvest season here in AZ! Any other tips/tricks or ideas you have, please share! Thank you for the information.

In reply to Bridget Fast. Either one, I'd watch the weather if it seems super hot or cold I'd start inside.

Does that mean start seeds indoors? Or plant seeds outside?

In reply to Nancy. You know, I think i used a university guide along with info from seed packets and talking to my local nursery. I made this a long time ago so it's a bit fuzzy...
