Not here yet, that is for sure. These pictures are from a week ago when we received 12 inches in Dallas. In one day. That has never happened in my lifetime. In fact, not since 1913. These pictures were actually taken the day after. I had to work and couldn’t capture the beautiful scenery I saw [...]

It’s Seedy.
This year I just couldn’t seem to figure out what I wanted to plant. So I got out all my seeds (this is no small task even in the short three seasons I have gardened veggies) and began to test the seeds for viability. I then decided I had better get started with sowing seeds which will need a [...]

Flowers, any way I can get em.
This is a short post because the one I REALLY need to publish is not quite ready. I am checking my seeds for viability and trying to figure out what I want to plant this year.
I came across this picture in my email from Anthropologie. And well, it made me smile in these cold, wet ,dreary winter [...]

Aftermath
So a couple of posts back I commented that it had been years since I remembered the weather being in the teens. 1997 to be exact (per our local weatherman) was the year. Boy, am I ever glad I purchased frost cloth over the past few years. I am going to buy even more now. I found [...]

Welcome 2010
I know I have complained about the weather a lot this past year. But, it really has been difficult. I wanted you to read an email I received from a local CSA, Barking Cat Farm (so you wouldn’t think it was just me, hehe). They and many farmers here in Texas, and across the country had [...]

Peek a Boo
Winter is here. We have had temperatures in the upper 20’s. One day, we were colder than New York. What’s up with that? A snowy “blizzard” on Christmas day and then more sleet and snow. This week in the teens. THE TEENS. It has been years since I remember it getting that cold in Dallas. You [...]

Yin Yang
Have you ever planted something just because the seeds were cool? I hadn’t either until I came across Hyacinth Bean Vine. I saw it one day at my favorite nursery, on top of a gazebo, in full bloom. It was gorgeous! I decided right then I had to have one.
Since the plant was in full [...]

Can’t believe it!
So yesterday, early in the morning, we had snow flurries. Big, beautiful snowflakes which melted slowly as they fell to the ground. Lovely.
We rarely have snow, so even flurries are exciting. The temperature never fell below freezing, but tomorrow it is supposed to dip into the upper 20’s. SO. I ran outside and put out my [...]

Still growing and growing…
I wish I could show you a crop of something ready to eat, but alas, it is still a work in progress. I think I am just impatient. But, I do have some newcomers.
My radishes have sprouted! I read that these were the easiest vegetable to grow, which is why they are a good choice [...]
