Depends on your climate. Ours is moderate in winter mostly and we grow winter crops.

Monday, I am suppose to get down to 29F. It will kill everything in my garden except the Garlic. Any suggestions as to my winder climate: Norther Nevada? Winter days 40's to 50's Nights 20 to 30. Extreme nights to zero. Oh well, not every one is able to live in Paradise, aka Texas. G George, Native American What tribe? , Native Texican Is that in the United States? Do they have a football team? :-) -T Cherokee on Mother's side, Choctaw on Dad's, none of us were ever registered with a tribe. Each parent was half white, half Native American. Both Mom's parents were half Cherokee/half white, Dad's dad was full blood Choctaw, married to a white woman, a blond at that. Never made any difference to us, we're just full blood Americans. Texican is the old word for Texan, born in Texas, most likely will die here. Worked in two different Arab Gulf countries, lived and worked in several states, pure D oil field trash, third generation. We've been sitting on the front porch, handing out Halloween candy, dawg tried to defend the candy basket so put her back in the house. Rain stopped earlier today, thank goodness, lots of folks south of us got flooded, hit by high winds and tornadoes. Glad we picked this end of Harris Cty, Texas to move to. Plus we're nearly three hours closer to our kids, grands, and great grands but I do miss rural Louisiana and the slow pace there. Not to mention the excellent fishing, fresh and salt water, all within a thirty minute drive. |

It's raining here again, wife is off to Art in the Park at noon, if the rain stops she will be displaying her watercolors in hope of selling them. I will be curled up with a warm dawg and a nice sci fi book. |
