We harvest garlic in late May when the green leaves have dried to tan. After digging them up, we hang them out in the arid heat under a tree to cure for a week or so.

GVG Contemporary, 241 Delgado St. (corner of Canyon Rd & Delgado St.), Santa Fe, NM

When: June 9 - July 23, 2017

Where: Tohono Chul Gallery, Tohono Chul Park, 7366 North Paseo del Norte, Tucson, AZ

Our Desert Cotton (Gossypium thurberi), native to the Sonoran desert, has also been in bloom. It’s closely related to cultivated cotton and is possibly its progenitor.

Sixth Annual Five15 to the Fifth Exhibition

Farraday Newsome’s work can be found on Artful Home, an online gallery that periodically publishes and mails hard-copy color catalogs. Click here to see Farraday’s page.

Our Guayacan (Guaiacum coulteri) is in full, glorious, blue-violet bloom. This beautiful thornless shrub is native to the plains and slopes of western Mexico from Sonora to Oaxaca.

We’ve been picking a lot of plums lately from our Beauty Plum tree. It’s a Satsuma-type Japanese plum that does well in the desert with its low winter chill hour requirements.

We need to bag the figs before they ripen to keep ants and other small creatures from walking through the fig’s “eye” to the inside, tracking fungus along the way. In this heat, fungus thrives and and spoils the fruit. Little taffeta party favor bags do the trick!
