Hey there, fellow gardeners! I'm Ken Lain, The Top 10 Gardener and owner of Watters Garden Center in Prescott, Arizona. If you're like me, you're always looking for ways to make your garden thrive. And if you're new to gardening in Prescott, you might be wondering what zone you're in and how to choose the right plants for your climate.
Zone 7: We're in zone 7, which means we get some pretty cold winters, but also some warm summers. This zone is great for a variety of plants, both annuals and perennials.
Choosing the Right Plants: When choosing plants for your garden, be sure to look for varieties that are hardy in zone 7 or colder. You can find a list of plants that are suitable for your zone at the Watters Garden Center website.
Tips for Success:
- Water: Arizona is a dry climate, so it's important to water your plants regularly.
- Mulch: Mulch helps to keep your plants moist and regulate the soil temperature.
- Fertilize: Fertilize your plants according to the instructions on the fertilizer label.
- Protect from Frost: In the winter, protect your plants from frost by covering them with blankets or sheets.
