Somehow my newsreader transposed austin.general for austin.gardening;-)
Any gardening going on here?
I'm getting ready to wildflower seed the 50ft utility easement behind my fence. A neighbor a couple of houses down has been able to get a cluster of bluebonnets going that include the white ones. Its interesting watching them slowly spread out from the few he started with about 10 years ago. A few years back a friend gave me a bunch of seed for a "moon" garden. It turned out to be a variety of white flowers that really did look cool under the moon. |

How on earth did it manage to drown in a raised bed with lots of granite mixed in? Stupid floods. -- Victor M. Martinez Owned and operated by the Fantastic Seven (TM) Send your spam he Email me he |

I am going to overhaul the entire garden this year. I never watered anything so any plant which didn't make it, is going on the compost pile. I'm going to be concentrating much more on vegetables next year and I'll be starting all of my own from seed in the greenhouse. I have a nice stand of bluebonnets and finally the Indian paintbrush is starting to naturalize. It really is an amazing feeling to see those tiny seedlings form rosettes all winter, waiting for that day when they all of a sudden turn blue and orange, and it's beautiful. Good luck on yours. |

I find lavender is not a very long lived perennial for Central Texas. I could be wrong and I don't know what Gwen Barclay has to say about it, but I've never had it longer than three years before it craps out. V |

We had one in a pot that lived a long life, but the ones on the ground suffer a lot when it rains. -- Victor M. Martinez Owned and operated by the Fantastic Seven (TM) Send your spam he Email me he |
