Grandma Rosie's Texas Home

• Sun 1 Jan 2006 - My Garden

Even though it is barely January, my head and heart are racing ahead to plan my garden.  Gardening in my part of the world can be difficult.  For instance, we are currently 19 in behind in rain for 2005.  Drought is very common in central Texas.  But my little patch of ground is tilled and ready for turnips, beet, onions, potatoes and greens.  We never know here when our last freeze might be!!  I will hold of until spring for my more tender veggies and herbs. Most likely around Easter, but it could be sooner or later than that.  It has been so warm this winter I expect my fruit trees to get fooled in blooming early and then get bit back by a nasty freeze later.  But I am a Texan through and through so I guess I will put up with it! .
