I heard the first sweet song of the Deep Canyon Dipperbird and saw the first Marganza ducks down river. it must be Spring but I am still snowed in.

I have started my garden already a couple of my friends want to help. I am glad to have others join me in this endeavor. At first I was going to have a small plot but a friend came over with a tractor and plowed up about half an acre for me so maybe I will have some to sell as well.

I hope to get some tomatoes, eggplants, and bell peppers in this week. (South Central Texas)

Pole beans and squash by next week.

Gotta check the signs...I still plant the way my grandpa taught me...

Organic Gardening is a good magazine.

Organic gardening is great. Such a difference on how the vegetables grow. Ms Doohas you are making me jealous. I start all my plants in my greenhouse. usually about the end of March as they get too leggy if I start them too early. We plant them out in June
If you have trouble with Tomatoe horn worms you can go out at night with a black light and they show up like ghosts. Thank goodness I don't have them here.
I always have a happy plan on my flower seeds. Every year I plant different flowers and it is so much fun to see what they will look like. It keeps me alive . Ha!

I used to just grow herbs, tomatoes, salad lettuces and roses. I think I'd like to grow potatoes this year. Ya know, something starchy, that will keep you from starving, kinda thing. That other stuff was relatively frilly and useless, now that I think of it. Any tips on potatoes?
