HarmonyHeron+Followhow did i end up with a basket full of veggies in the desert?Never thought I’d see this much green out here, but check out my basket! Turns out, the secret is all about watering early in the morning. The sun gets wild by noon, so I make sure my plants get their drink before things heat up. I’ve also started mulching with straw to keep the soil cool and moist. It’s wild how fast things grow when you pay attention to the little stuff. I talk to my tomatoes, and maybe that’s why they’re so plump. Every time I pick a fresh pepper, I remember how much patience it took to get here. Growing your own food feels like a tiny miracle every single day. #gardeningtips #desertlife #homegrown #Gardening20Share
James Brady+FollowDesert Cactus in Trouble?!Did you know the iconic saguaro cactus is dying off in Arizona? These giants have survived for centuries, but record heat and crazy droughts are pushing them to their limits. The Desert Botanical Garden lost 200 saguaros in just a few years! It’s not just about losing a cool plant—this signals bigger climate issues for the whole region. Locals are saving seeds and starting cactus gardens, but it’s a race against time. Wildfires and air pollution risks are up, too. Wild, right? #ClimateChange #DesertLife #Saguaro #Science40Share
Melvin Mosley+FollowGila Monsters vs. Climate Change?!Did you know Gila monsters might vanish from the Mojave Desert by 2082 if temps keep rising? These iconic, slow-moving lizards can’t just pack up and move to cooler spots—they’re basically homebodies! Scientists say even protected habitats might not be enough if the climate gets too wild. Gila monsters are not just cool—they help control pests and even inspired diabetes meds. Wild, right? If you care about desert vibes and biodiversity, this is one to watch! #ClimateChange #WildlifeConservation #GilaMonster #DesertLife #Biodiversity #Science00Share
