You cut these potted plants down to a few leaves left and those leaves enable photosynthesis and they just keep growing back.

I'm gonna start growing some of those red mustard greens.

I haven't figured out what to grow in a high desert climate without needing to water it much, or at all. Maybe some kind of fruit trees. I'm not sure about vegetables though. I gotta do some research on it.

I wish I could grow date trees. Dates are seriously the best food. But that's in the low desert.

Growing in the winter??

Damn...

I didn't even know that was possible.

I think I'd just stick to the leafy greens, but this is really interesting.

If you trap 'em, you can eat 'em.

Shit tons of those on the market, it doesn't have to be that specific kind.

"There is surprisingly a lot of variety when it comes to the types of fruits that can be grown in zone 7. The most common fruit tree choices being apple, cherry, apricot, peach, pear, and plum. Some fewer common choices are persimmon, pomegranate, fig, elderberry, and mulberry."

That's not bad for my area.

Yeah I ran across the whole zone thing in my search a few mins. ago too.

I guess it makes sense that you can only grow certain stuff in certain places...

I might try growing one thing that isn't supposed to necessarily be able to grow in my area though...

Just to see.

Yeah, I think it is important for what types of plants will do good, no matter where you are.

It is critical if you live in areas that have an actual winter though.

I have a mild winter here, but big temperature swings overnight.

It's always sunny though. The days are always nice year round. It's pretty cool.

I'm definitely going to get some fig trees started now that I know they grow here. Figs and dates are amazing, I think they have a very high nutritional value, especially carbs.

I was also contemplating moving up to Alaska, instead of Arizona, to homestead.

Mainly for two reasons. (1) You get paid a dividend of somewhere around 5-10K just for being a resident (I don't know the actual number. (2) Gold prospecting.

I am self employed in and IT field so not that interested in prospecting. But the dividend payment is definitely enticing. It is hard to trade the weather in Arizona, and not live in the middle of nowhere Alaska as well. For my mental and physical health, I am glad I moved to Arizona. Also, since I invest in real estate, Arizona is way better for buying property.
