I live in northern AZ, in the high desert and we have a difficult time growing anything too. This year we're going to try lots of shade cloth and see if that helps. As I mentioned in my comment above, I had to go on a raw Paleo diet to save my life -- since I have horrible reactions to most fruits and vegetables -- even ones labeled "organic". There are only two fruits I can eat without a reaction -- bananas and avocados. So my first meal of the day is one of these smoothies. I talked to someone who explained to me that many of the organic herbicides/pesticides are more toxic than some of the commercial ones. Soooooo I'm going to try growing my own fruits and veggies since I successfully grew tomato plants out here 2 years in a row and I ate all the tomatoes I wanted with no reaction -- which is very encouraging to me! For this year I'm envisioning a healthy garden and a getting a green house built.
