Developing a green thumb can be a bit tricky, but after a while youll get the hang of it. To start you off, heres a list of a few crops that are generally easy to grow in the Chandler climate.
Broccoli and cauliflowereasy to plant and take care of, and does well in the sun.
Chilis and Peppersa great fall-to-spring crop, though it has a little more trouble in the full heat of summer. Keep it well-watered and fertilized, and it will do well.
EggplantsThese do surprisingly well in the desert, even through the summer.

Dilleasy to grow! With a few months care, youll have a giant plant for all your seasoning needs.
