    I am new to this site and to most of the wonderful plants and flowers out in this world. I have always liked working outside since I was young. I am newly semi-retired and have a yard that is 3/4 acres on a river just 3 miles from the Gulf of Mexico.

    I have recently began working and planting in the yard and such. In the ground we have a new Meyer Lemon tree, 4 new rose bushes, 4 old climbing rose bushes, 19 new hostas, transplants of a confederate rose , fire & ice, orange trumpet plants and purple people eater plants (purple double trumpet) and a very old grape vine. In pots we have several wondering jews, a boston fern, several aloe veras, a bleeding heart and an angel wing begonia.

    Some of the potted plants will be going into the ground. Thanks for stopping in and I am sure that I will be asking a lot of questions. Hope y'all are ready for me and have patience with me. Thanks again!

    Hello LadyStone, welcome to the Stew from north Texas.
    I am about 60 miles from the Texas/Oklahoma state line.

    I like your plant assortment. Is your grape vine a Muscadine?

    Thank you all for a wonderful, warming greeting! Once I have more pics, I will post them. I live in Sargent, TX. The grapevine that I have is not Muscadine. We are not sure what type of grape that it is...they are white with 3-4 seeds in them. The vine was here when the place was purchased.
