Texas Gardening

It's ALIVE!

16 years ago

Well, some things are actually alive in the yard! Yeah! After >40 hours below freezing the yard looked pretty awful. I dug out some brugs that were dead, quite a bit of stuff is dead but more than we thought is living. YEAH!

WE GOT SIDING TODAY!! Next week trim on the windows and doors, the plumber ran the pipes for the kitchen sink, the guys will finish the sheetrock Friday & by this time next week we will have a sink in the kitchen. Oh happy day!

Tally HO!

sorry about the losses, but I am glad that your garden still has some life in it, & especially glad to hear about the progress on the house!

Hang in there (& attend every plant swap & giveaway that you can)!

Glad things are looking up for you, Tally. I'm keeping a close eye on my brugs, but I see no sign of life on them yet. Hope the pace picks up on your home repairs so you can have more time to devote to your garden!
