Hi Rosalind—welcome to the desert! My planting guide was written for the low‑desert areas around Phoenix (zone 9b), but Las Vegas (zone 9a) gardeners use it all the time with just a tiny tweak: Shift the spring dates back a bit. Vegas is a touch cooler, so wait until your average last frost—usually early to mid‑March—before you sow or transplant warm‑season veggies. Everything else in the spring section stays the same.Fall and winter crops line up perfectly. In fact, your cooler nights may let you start leafy greens and root veggies a week or two earlier than I do. Otherwise, the soil, watering, and heat‑protection tips apply 100%. Give it a try, note what works, and adjust a week or two either way as you get to know your new microclimate.Happy gardening, and thanks for following along on YouTube!
