The garden’s fresh flowers are well and truly over, and last week’s offerings from the hedgerows are still decorating the flat; thanks to the fact that lichened sticks and dried seedheads have a rather longer shelf-life than flowers, my arrangements will probably last around the house until the first spring bulbs, with frequent changes of location to keep things looking fresh. Lately – some bush...

PERMACULTURE – A LEARNING CURVE – agoyvaerts
https://gaiainaction.wordpress.com/2015/07/10/permaculture-a-learning-curve
To observe, to be enchanted, and to enjoy the simple stuff in life, is truly a delight. PERMACULTURE – A LEARNING CURVE. July 10, 2015. Two weeks ago I used this wheelbarrow. Today I found it totally overgrown with cleavers, or goosegrass like we call it. And so it is with quite a few other areas of the garden. During the last week or two growth has been fierce due to weather conditions, it has been very damp with temperatures between 15 and 17 degrees. So today I made a start at clearing. Slugs and snai...

http://tropicaltexana.blogspot.com/2012/06/untouchable-plant-agave-bovicornuta.html
Gardening with Nature, Humor, and Kittens. Wednesday, June 13, 2012. THE UNTOUCHABLE PLANT AGAVE BOVICORNUTA. Well, you might think by seeing all those daggers and thorns, that I mean unTOUCHABLE. OUCH! What I really mean is the price. Until this week, this plant was out of reach.another type of OUCH! For two years I've watched this plant go down in price. It was 36.00 US at one point! It was $20 this past Spring. But I had already purchased enough plants and I had to pass. Then it happened; 50% off!

Gardening with Nature, Humor, and Kittens. Tuesday, August 23, 2011. HOT ENOUGH FOR YA? FUNNY DIARY OF A NEWCOMER TO TEXAS. With our new record for most consecutive 100 days in Houston (we made National news), it only seems appropriate to share this sadly funny Diary from a newcomer to Texas.

Gardening with Nature, Humor, and Kittens. Wednesday, July 16, 2014. JULY STALWARTS: FLOWERS THAT BLOOM IN THE TEXAS FURNACE. STALWART: a loyal, reliable, hard-working supporter in a common cause.

But when it comes to the furnace of the Texas summer, I'm happy with any flower that wants to be in my garden. THIS IS GBBD PART 2 (My first one for July was devoted exclusively to sunflowers). Here's the native variet...
