Of course, growing anything here in the desert is allot different than growing in England. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

Same goes - trying to grow nice veg here is also totally different and difficult - they can't take the heat and I suppose that would definitely apply to where you are.

Mom used to can everything. One year over 700 quarts of food. My grandfather always wanted to be a farmer but his mother wouldn't let him. She was a very controlling miserable woman.

Apples and pears also won't grown where we are. But peaches and avocados and citrus grow well. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions
