How To Grow Organic Tomatoes & Peppers in Arizona – Raised Bed Vegetable Garden Update
This is a quick video update on how my tomato and pepper plants are doing in the raised bed garden I planted in Arizona.
When I first planted them, for both, tomato and peeper plants, in the planting hole, I added:
1. One tablespoon of Epsom salt
2. One tablespoon of Azomite rock dust
3. One tablespoon of homemade eggshell and banana peel fertilizer. Here is the link to the video so you can see how I make my own organic potassium and calcium fertilizer at home:
4. A hand full of Dr. Earth organic fertilizer
5. One crashed baby aspirin per plant
The tomato plants in this video were started indoors from organic seeds on February 14th, 2016. I transplanted them into bigger cups on March 4th.
The pepper plants in this video were started indoors from organic seeds on February 22nd, 2016.
I transplanted both, the tomato and pepper plants into my raised garden bed on April 13th, 2016. And this video is from April 21st, 2016.
The garden is located on the East side of my house, so it only gets about 5 to 6 hours of morning sun.
I water the garden every day after 7 pm.
*If in the desert location like me:
– never water your plants during the day.
– always let the water run for a while until is normal temperature
I’m located in grow Zone 9 (Arizona… desert), so with a little luck, hopefully, I will be picking tomatoes and peppers this summer.
I hope you find this episode helpful!
