Sorry for the glitch around minute 23. Apparently I didn’t catch this during my “sleep editing” session last night😝
It all looks so fantastic!! Thanks for the wonderful tour!
Appreciate you stopping by Jo💗
Love it! I am in Central Texas also and this gives me some great ideas for plants that may do well (survive!) for me.😂
Hey neighbor! I’m so glad I could offer some solid choices. Surviving is a total win in this area! 🙌
Funn hotober😂yea we finally cooling down
I’m enjoying the rain and cooler temps…now I’m battling the aphids😅
Good stuff! I'd probably not worry too much about the aphids on your deciduous plants... The oleander aphids are just a terror for me right now, and I have left them hoping for some late season beneficials... But my patience is wearing thin because they are gross!
My crape myrtles have just given up like “Next year man…next year”😂
Thank you for the video. I had to watch it twice to take notes. What kind of mulch is that in your new garden bed? Do you have any recommendations on greenhouses? You have a very diverse group of plants, do you start them in a greenhouse? Again, I find your presentations useful and educational. As a beginner, your content is an indispensable resource. Thank you, best wishes.
I’m so excited you feel better informed to tackle your garden! That’s what it’s all about, gardeners helping gardeners!
In that new bed I’m using a hardwood mulch(cedar). It will fade fairly quickly but you can rake it for a bit of a color refresh.
As far as greenhouses, I bought an inexpensive greenhouse kit. I don’t recommend it because the panels didn’t last. I just had to do a major repair on mine that may buy me a few seasons, but it’s shot. If I had it to do it all over again, I’d talk to a reputable greenhouse company and work through selecting a greenhouse with them. I’ll have to save up and do just that in about 2-3 years.
Are all or at least most of your plants drought tolerant?
Great question! Yes they are. I made a major shift toward native plants the last two seasons, and at least for Texas this includes an amazing variety of drought tolerant plants.
