Welcome to December in the low desert of Arizona. While cooler temperatures and occasional cold nights might slow down crop growth, this month still offers a wonderful opportunity to plant a variety of vegetables, herbs, flowers, and fruits. Whether you’re filling spaces from recent harvests or getting your garden started, getting these crops in the ground now will give you delicious spring harvests. Enjoy your garden this month.

To make your planning smoother, I’ve compiled all these planting lists into convenient perpetual calendars so you can see everything to plant each month and guides organized by crop. The calendars and guides have versions for vegetables, herbs & fruits, and another one for flowers. All of the guides and calendars are available in my shop. These resources are designed to help you garden with confidence here in the low desert of Arizona.

I really appreciate that you never try to push us to buy things! Other Youtubers basically make videos to promote their products or affiliate links. You’re passionate about gardening and genuinely want to help others learn to do the same!❤

I would love a video on how to plan your garden- esp which plants have the same needs & could be put together in a raised bed

Planting amaryllis bulbs with geraniums is something I will definitely try. I’m always looking forward to your “what to plant in (month)” videos. Thank you so much!

Just the site I’ve been searching for. I’ve been in QC for six years and have been so confused as to when to plant. Thank you!

Hi Angela, Can you show us where you keep your plants indoors? Is it a special area with special heat, light, humidity or do you just keep the seedlings on the dining room table?

[robyndudley]

Great video. Im in NorCal 9b and my planting schedule would be a little different than yours. Wish I could get those labels for my schedule. Great idea!

[jeffcollins]

What starter soil do you use? What was the grainy material you put on top

Gardening full season is like a full time second job 😂

[juliejones-fxsf]

Hi Angela, love your videos! Where do you get your comfrey & yarrow to plant here in Mesa? Also, do they survive the heat here?

[saltycat]

Hello, I'm curious about the plants you keep by your front door. Also in az and my front door area gets some light in the morning, but mostly shaded.

[dorothyleeuw]

In the video you have some Horta Nova but mine is the plastic kind you get from Amazon. I like your’s it looks more durable like string. Do you have the source for purchasing. Hope you had a Merry Christmas . 😊
