Here comes the heat

Greenhouse Shade CoverAs you may know RhibaFarms is located in Chandler Arizona, right in the Phoenix heat island.  Growing in the summer time requires jumping though some hurdles and experimenting. 

The good news is that with the shade screens on, our greenhouse is growing like a champ.  In addition to the greenhouse, we are doing some outside growing experiments with peppers, squash, tomatoes, green-beans, garbanzo, cucumber, watermelon and cantaloupe.  We built a couple of planter boxes out behind the greenhouse to grow these new crops.  Be sure to drop in on us at the Downtown Phoenix Public Market to see our new crops start showing up.
