Hi Everyone Newbie here to GardenStew Beck showed me the way LOL Been gardening since I was a kid with my grandparents. We moved from Rockford Il area to East Texas in 07 and lovin it. I'm still learning about gardening in Texas and gee am I re-learning different ways compared to Illinois gardening
Hi Mibus, welcome to GardenStew from north Texas. Not only is gardening in Texas very different from other state, gardening in one part of Texas is very different from gardening in another part of Texas. Any pictures of your garden you would like to share we would like to see.
Hi again! Like we have mentioned on other posts, we are a nosey bunch of people, but the nicest you would ever want to meet! Chandler ...not far at all!
Welcome! I used to live in Wisconsin many years ago. It was very different from here in Texas. But, many more things will grow here. You will have to try a bit of everything. Lots of Texans here to help! dooley
Well the easiest way to post pictures is to give you the url to my website where I have a picture journal I haven't updated it lately but it shows how ti looked when we moved in and how it looks now. http://www.ladies-of-the-heart.org/Phyllis/ Yes I am learning I can grow alot more here and have a longer growing seasons and I can do tropicals some too although the cold snap the first of Dec got my plumerias since hubby didn't bring them inside like I asked :'(
I browsed your website ... What hard work you have put in. It looks like two different places. Your flowers are beautiful and the bamboo bench is a very clever way to use all your bamboo. It does look very sturdy. You have a lovely family. Do any of the kids live in Texas? It is so nice to have you as an 'almost' neighbor.
Thanks it has been hard work and it's still in progress Luckily hubby is retired and enjoys workin in the yard and he is learning to ask before cutting things LOL The bench only lasted one year it was not made from lumber type bamboo so it cracked as it dried and wasn't safe to sit on My oldest daughter and her hubby live in Humble and work for Baker Hughes they got married labor day weekend here at home Hubbies youngest son lives in Longview and the rest of the kids live back in Illinois near Urbana and Rockford My son officially made me a grandma the Monday before thanksgiving My son and grandbaby ( photo / image / picture from mibus2's Garden )
