Tips from the Garden
I like gardening -- it's a place where I find myself when I need to lose myself. ~Alice Sebold~*
It’s that time of year again, relaxing in the garden in the early mornings and evenings, and -- preparing the yard and gardens for the heat of summer in South Central Texas! For the next three to four months, keep all of your plants, inside and outside, well hydrated. With recent glorious rains Mother Nature is helping us with that.

Tips from the Garden
Weather means more when you have a garden. There's nothing like listening to a shower and thinking how it is soaking in around your green beans. ~Marcelene Cox~
In July, when showers don’t come, it’s up to us gardeners to intervene with plant saving measures, primarily deep watering and at least 3” of mulch for insulation and weed control. Lawns and trees will also benefit from deep watering, as will the shade plants coleus and caladiums.
