I was wondering how Houston was treating you and if you planted fall tomatoes?
Thanks for asking... I'm still adjusting...
I had a remarkably decent yield from the two plants that I planted waaaaay too late in the spring. But unfortunately, the summer heat was too much for me to even start thinking about starting fall tomatoes. Sheeesh, I could barely keep up with the more routine grass cutting and flower/bush weeding and trimming. I don't care much for St Augustine grass -- the cool weather grasses that I'm accustomed to never gave me as many headaches with assorted brown splotches and other crap growing/not-growing in it. What a pain.
Tomatoes are going to have to wait until spring.
But right now, I'm thinking about more flowers/shrubbery to add around the house or next to the mailbox. The stuff we have is OK, but it doesn't produce much color. We need something (low maintenance) that'll give us some more colorful accents. Any recommendations?
