Grow Your Own Food

It's spring in Houston which is quite wonderful.  Actually, we only have two seasons here:  nice and hell.  The nice months are wonderful (October to May) and summer is just something we try to survive.  After a fairly stressful winter- it was cold and the construction workers trampled everything in our entire yard- I am back in the garden.  We have started our seeds, got the beds rebuilt and turned, the compost is recomposing and we are almost ready to get our garden on!

I have been studying the gardening patterns of Houston and I am excited about my new gardening calendar from Houston Grows.

Pretty soon, we will have the following vegetables:  leeks, beets, green onions, lettuce, arugula, turnips, radishes, garlic, peppers, heirloom yellow tomatoes, cabbage, broccoli,  collard greens, carrots and more!


I'll update you with pics of my new babies and recipes!  I hope you find time and a little bit of space to start your own garden.

  3. Hey Casey, It's me Jeri from the Kind Life forum. I saw you had a blog. I love it. I'm going to put a link to it through my blog pages. This is great and we're just planting our herbs once again. Just got everything today in fact. Come by and visit our blog as well. God bless.
