My Battle with the Green briar Vine

Green Briar is a thorny vine that is native all over the South.  Deer love to eat it and it’s highly flammable. It’s also difficult to control and often pops up everywhere.  You can blame it on the birds who love to eat the berries.  Once it establishes an underground root system it’s near impossible […]

Waterlilies…..the slowpokes of spring

No matter the temperature, the plants in your garden have already been alerted that spring is coming .  Plants “know” this because the days are getting longer.  Warm weather is all it takes for things to GET GROWING!  However it’s a different story in the pond, stick your hand in the water, it’s cold!  It’s […]

It’s a Numbers Game

Is it really worth it to grow your own veggies?  If you have the time and the trouble then yes…I won’t go into all that sustainable, recycle, eat healthy, organic, eat clean, helps you exercise… blah blah blah    IT JUST SAVES YOU MONEY.   I mean seriously if you are going to go through […]

What? Not again

Not another cold front, Noooooo.  I’m here to tell you to relax, after the last two hard freezes “what’s done is done”.  What was frozen is frozen and what you saved well you know what to do.  Your fish are OK, the aquatic plants in the bottom of the pond are OK.  The roots of […]

What you can plant NOW!

Can’t wait to get started?  Here’s what you can do this week in the garden:  Plant Seeds!

Freeze? Oh same on me

Are you beating yourself up because you didn’t get your plants in on time. Please take comfort that this “so-called” professional didn’t either! I suspect this Succulent known as the Pancake plant is toast. Teehee get it?

Lubbock

Think it’s cold in Houston? Visiting my brother and family in Lubbock. 15 degrees with a stiff North wind. There’s nothing like experiencing a real winter to make you appreciate the Gulf Coast.

Oh how I hated weeding

Even though I developed a love of gardening as a child, I hated weeding.  I have three younger brothers and we decided we would plant a vegetable garden.  Which we did….but my mother (she was one of those “mean Moms”) insisted that we also take care of the plants in the garden which meant weeding, […]
