Glad to have you back with us. Maybe when you get ready to start your new flowers and beds maybe some of us here at Garden Here will have some things to share with you to help you get that lovely flower garden.

Hey so your in the Houston area huh, I live in Galveston, County between Texas city and Kemah in a town called Bacliff I to am also a renter, and I just wish I could buy some land (yeah well I can always dream I guess) anyway I'm around not to often but I am around Clyde (watchmegrow) Alexander Prov 17:3

Yes you did send me brandywine tomatoes Kellyn.  Thank you again and welcome back .  I am getting ready to start some now.  Let me know if you would like some seeds. Grannyrose

Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome.  Grannyrose didn't I send you some brandy-wine tomatoes a few years ago??  Skbeal rain is definitely abundant here.  When we first moved to Houston it rained every day for 2 weeks. 

There is always room for one more plant.

 

 Welll KellyN, how about a welcome from a non-Texan... Welcome from Virginia

Hello Kellyn, I live in the Houston area and grow many plant in pots because of my clay soil including tomatoes and tropicals.  This year I have some raised beds. My plants are peaking out and my azaleas and red hibiscus are blooming. 

We look forward to talking to you more often. Grannyrose

 

 

Welcome home from a fellow Texan and a fellow renter! Believe me, I figure out anyway I can to plant things....I steal the land around me too if I have to do that (not really steal, just appropriate any empty spaces around my apartment,) and fortunately, by summer, I've got quite an array of cool things blooming, many in pots, some in the ground. My neighbors love the stuff, and look forward to seeing the blooms. You'll be able to do a lot of stuff in pots -- even tomatoes, but man do they consume water around here....I'd have to water them twice a day at times. it's already starting to get hot here. Right now, it's about 80 degrees and is going up to 85. I'm not looking forward to turning the a/c on by the first of March, so (knock on wood,) maybe we won't have to resort to that. I already have an iris that's about to open and some blue flax and calendula that's starting to bloom. My bluebonnets are up and thriving but haven't bloomed yet. I expect them to do so within the next couple of weeks....but we haven't had much rain this winter. Have you? I'm up between Waco and Austin not far from Fort Hood.
