Ground Hog Day - Spring Around the Corner

Posted on February 2, 2012 at 9:48pm 0 Comments 2 Likes

Ground Hog day. Spring is close and I can feel it coming on. What to do? Remain calm I have 6 more weeks.

I am starting to look at some of my beds that need mulch and wondering what my first move will be. I have a utility trailer and the transfer station sells it really cheap. (5.00 a front end load). So between now and the next couple of weeks I am planning on getting really dirty one day.

Rain in South Texas

Posted on September 16, 2011 at 9:34pm 3 Comments 1 Like

I am compelled to write that we actually got rain today in South Texas after 60 plus days without. We only got about 1/4 of an inch, but we will take anything we can get. Keep your fingers crossed as we may get some more next week. Trying to save all my plants and lawn and this point. Every bit counts.

Should the tree stay or go?

Posted on January 18, 2011 at 4:30pm 3 Comments 1 Like

I am really stuck with this tree. It is a beautiful tree, but it is really close the house and hangs over also. Should I take it out or trim it back? These trees live to be 1000 plus years old. I am also thinking about trimming it and letting it go.....too much beauty, but it will hurt my foundation. Help me decide...please.…

Blooming Agave

Posted on November 8, 2010 at 10:00am 4 Comments 2 Likes

I have heard that after an agave plant blooms that they then die. Wondering if anyone knows if this is true with all agave plants? If so how long does it take for them to die. Can you do anything to help them to keep going?

I decorated the large 'Flowering Crabtree' out in the front yard today with many white lights for Christmas. Also hung some boughs around the front windows. My home was built in 1928. I usually try to "Play-Up the OLD" instead of trying to add a contemporary look. I put a spotlight in the ground facing the house. I like to prop up "OLD" sleds from the 30's-40's across the front porch, an old pair of ice skates and maybe a hockey stick. Just hope they don't get stolen.

Hi John! Sorry I've been offline job-hunting and responded so late to the friend request. I am so in love with your tree pictures and can't get over how incredible they are! Look forward to more!

"I have had every size garden you can think of. From a truck patch to my now small back yard. I have to say I am glad at my age, I have a smaller area. I still have to laugh at my ex-husband - he is a farmer - one of our first years…"

Name this iris?

I have been researching all day, but haven't found it. A friend gave it back to me after I gave it to him thinking it looked like root beer brown. In a different location it is gorgeous wine colored.
