Welcome to your Arizona garden in January guide. Even though January is typically the coldest month in the low desert, you don’t have to stay indoors waiting for warmer weather. Now is the perfect time to focus on important garden tasks—like pruning roses and fruit trees—to keep your landscape healthy. For those in the low desert areas (below 3,500 feet), such as Phoenix or Tucson, this guide will help you confidently garden during the cooler months.
It’s a new year! Whether you have a garden or want to start gardening, I will show you what to plant in Arizona in January. I have a blog post like this for each month of the year. You can do this, I’ll help! If you want to plant in January in the low desert of Arizona, we’re reaching the end of the window so that cool-season crops have enough time to grow and produce. But there are still plenty of things we can plant this month.
If your last frost date is in late February or March (low desert friends, that's us!), it's time to start seeds indoors for warm-season crops. Starting seeds now will give your plants a head start, and you'll be ready to plant when temperatures warm in the spring. If you're new to seed starting, no worries! My guides will help you learn this valuable skill. #LowDesertGarden #gardeningtips #vegetablegarden #plantingguide #organicgarden #desertgarden #arizonagarden #gardenlove #gardenblogger #instagardeners #instagarden #seedstarting #seeds #startseedsindoors #indoorseedstarting

The average temperature is 107°F (81°C), and the average rainfall is 1.22 inches. When you’re in the garden this month, remember to work outside in the cooler morning and evening hours and stay hydrated.

Now that nighttime temps are coming down, it’s time to take the burned fruit off the tree. ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ 🍊 Citrus will begin ripening in the next few months. With the damaged fruit gone, the tree can focus its energy on the remaining fruit. ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ 🍋 Once citrus changes color, it will be harder to tell which fruit is damaged.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣🍊Luckily, citrus trees are typically heavy producers, and plenty of fruit remains on the tree.
