I bet you can grow lots of vegetables too! You'll have to get them in as soon a as feasible though. Get to those nurseries and ask questions!!! |
Well we have the typical 4 seasons here, summer is hot & dry over 100 degree temps, spring is rainy, winter is snowy, and fall is nice and a little dry too. We don't get the rain that the otherside of the state gets. I'm gonna throw some typical Texas thoughts into my gardening --- plants that like dry weather. Oh and Evergreen shrubs. That should work good. I found the WSU extension agent website, and it is full of info.
They grown some really pretty flowers here that bloom in the summer, I can't wait to try growing some. Right now on the extension agent website is says we can plant Rhubarb.
Thats it right now. Not sure I'm interested in eating that, so I'll wait til next month & see what I can plant. LOL!
I still need to get out and see if I can dig the garden (it's on my list to do this week), ground is still a little frozen in spots.
HViola, I grew up in South Texas -- my mom would tell me if those bugs got into the pots, you just need to throw out the soil and get all new potting soil for them. Or maybe the bugs came up from the ground or area the pot is sitting on. A small sprinkling of 7-Dust under the pot usually keeps the bugs out.
