Growing in New Mexico desert

[Standupp]

Hi, I have been growing 3 plants in my closet for 3 months (3rd indoor grow) and i transferred them outside about a month ago. They are doing amazing! The sun really kicks ass! This is my first outdoor grow. I drove way out into the middle of the desert (30 mins from my house) where there is a bunch of sagebrush and weeds. i planted them in the center of a bunch of bushes, and cleared out the middle. whereas its only visible from looking at it from the sky. The catch is, my plants are a way more distinct green than surrounding plants and i am worried that when they get taller, they will be more visible and obvious. They only things around are dirt roads that people RARELY drive on. Even if someone drove by, they would have to get out of the car and walk to see the plants. There would be no reason to get out and walk around out there. Is this safe? Should i move them? Are there any other things i could do/build/construct to make my grow more secure? Im not worried about getting detected by air since im growing only 3 plants.

ur good dude, only reason any helis gonna be flying above is for the illegals, not looking for plants so much

Yeah lol and I live far from the border. I'm not worried about sky, I'm worried about my green standing out in the brown desert. I was thinking about digging up some more sage brush and planting em around my plants..then cleaning up the area so it seems like no one was there...good idea?

Im up in Az, the wind is pretty killer here too.

Yeah this wind is obnoxious, but when I put them outside a month ago (windy season) they made it, in fact, so much wind has made my plants very thick and strong, so I'm sure they are fine. The reason I planted em in the middle of plants is for wind sheild haha

Must be a lot of the US that has wind problems... we're having 40+ mph wind gust going on right now

edit: I'm in the midwest

Check out my camo/ rabbit cage I make out of woven dead weeds an some garden fence in my video journal link on U-tube.
It helps shade em in the heat, camo em from people, protect em from wind an rabbits.
I bush em out an fim an super crop em to keep em hidden. Ill try to make em look like Yucca s or tie fake sunflowers cause they are the only thing green around here.

Where its dam hot you got to use mulch on the top soil to hold the water in the ground, I deep water the roots by pulling a stake out an watering em deep. (im also using coco an moistrue control starch polymers called ZEBA quench, should make my waterin times about once a week when its above 100 )
