Oh boy!!! Another Texas Gardener!!!

Here’s where a lot of us start with our peculiar information for Texas climates.

http://www.dirtdoctor.com/

http://www.neilsperry.com/

Either of those will be of help I think.

Not knowing where exactly your daughter moved I can’t recommend anything local, but Howard Garrett has a GREAT gardening show on the radio on Sunday mornings on 660 AM out of DFW. Very knowledgeable and practical. Also available is Texas Gardening Magazine which addresses various areas of Texas, might make a worthwhile gift someday.

I will pass along the links and maybe check out the garden magazine. I don’t want to overwhelm her. She never liked getting her hands “dirty” with gardening while growing up. Before they moved, she had asked me to help her with a few pots of plants for her porch. We did flowers and a few veggies. She was so proud of putting them together without wearing gloves and all. LOL Their 3 year old LOVES being outside and would help me pick veggies in our garden. Now that they have their own place (his granny’s old house) she is more interested. They are near the Dallas area.
