| A Zucchini In Our Raised Bed Garden. Yarnell, Arizona. Photo Taken September 02, 2011. Our Trusty "Guard Dog", "Amber" Is Guarding The Zucchini In The Top Center Of The Photo! |

The above photo of a Zucchini, is in our main railroad tie raised bed garden, for our vegetables in Yarnell, Arizona at 4,864 feet elevation. In addition to several fruit trees, we have a total of four raised bed vegetable gardens made of railroad ties and four raised bed vegetable gardens made of large stones. Flowers are also planted in the vegetable gardens to complement the vegetable gardens. Some vegetables grow better with certain flowers planted nearby! Several of our fruit trees were simply placed into the various natural rock areas that surround our property. Of course, the soil was modified in those areas to support the growth of the trees. Some fruit trees were placed into our back yard in more of the conventional orchard style, but we have tried to arrange them so that they look as if they randomly grew in the areas. All are irrigated by a managed drip system, on a timer that controls the amount of water the fruit trees receive.

We have placed Cucumbers, Melons, Squash, & Zucchini on this main page since they all belong to the Cucurbit or Gourd Family ( Cucurbitaceae ) and their growing habits and conditions are almost the same for all of the plants in that family. There are several reasons to grow your own vegetables. Such as; growing vegetables is simply an enjoyable hobby, home grown vegetables taste better, a home garden saves food money, home grown fruits are more nutritious, home gardens protect the environment, and home gardens can also be a fun learning activity for our children.
