Thank you for the tips! I live in the mojave desert of California and it has been 117 degrees every day this week. I can say all of these tips are necessary. I'd like to here about your watering setup. I currently do all of mine by hand. Thanks again. Love the videos and look forward to more !
Excellent advice! I’m in the “High Desert” (Hesperia, CA). I’m new to the desert, but want to start planting fruits and vegetables. I’m particularly interested in trying to coax Avocados into growing in my yard. I’m thinking of adding misters to help keep them cool and watered. Any thoughts on this hair-brained scheme?
In theory it makes sense, but in practice it is difficult. Because our water here is so salty/poor most misters will coat your tree in a white salt layer (not good for it). If you have a really good filtration system, it can work, but even then, the tree grows a couple feet each year so you'll have to keep adjusting your system and adding height to it. I think you can grow avocado trees without a misting system :)

I’m from Texas and it’s hot 🥵 here too! I try to use shade cloths and rely on vine plants to protect my other plants.
What are your favorite vines? I'm trying to add more to my yard.

I do way too much by hand... it's a pain in the summer and something I hope to build more irrigation for this year.
Thank you!!
You're welcome!
