SpringWHAT I HAVE LEARNED ABOUT GARDENING IN TEXAS SO FAR? gardenandgemWednesday, May 20, 2015, Updated: Saturday, June 27, 20201 min read150 viewsThese are some key points if you should make yourself a garden in Texas.-MULCH! You need to mulch all open soil because the soil becomes densely packed by the hard and heavy rain, nutrients are washed away, and the mulch retains moisture and screens the ground from the strong heat.-Coriander bolts really fast. Like in three weeks fast!. Even slow bolting kinds.-I have started to accept palm trees. Especially the Cycads (which actually are not palms), like in this picture. They are really easy growing/going plants who can take a lot and still look good. Be aware that the seeds are very poisonous for dogs!-The weather changes in seconds! We thought that the Norwegian mountains were deceitful? Visit us a day with a tropical storm!-Flowers can smell too much. Like this Gardenia (Gardenia jasminoides). Though I feel ungrateful when I write it down black on white.-Everything grows very fast in spring. Like the cucumbers.It’s very high air humidity here. So be aware of fungus attacks. like this creamy mushroom in the middle of my Tagetes! 🙂Share this:Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)Click to share on Reddit (Opens in new window)Like this:Like Loading...XOXO gardenandgem0 CommentsYou Might Also LikeSELF-SEEDING ANNUALS AND SPRING IN THE SUBURBSFriday, May 19, 2017, Last modified on Tuesday, June 30, 2020GARDENPLANS FOR FEBRUARY, ALL WORK AND NO PLAYTuesday, February 21, 2017, Last modified on Thursday, December 7, 2023HOW TO PREPARE CANNA FOR SPRINGTuesday, March 8, 2016, Last modified on Wednesday, July 8, 2020KJØPE FRØ PÅ NETTTuesday, February 23, 2016, Last modified on Wednesday, December 6, 2023THE BIG SPRING CLEAN UPMonday, February 22, 2016, Last modified on Saturday, October 17, 2020COMPARING SEED PRICESSunday, February 7, 2016, Last modified on Wednesday, December 6, 2023 previouslyA LOT OF DIGGINGup nextRAINFALLTagscoriandercucumbercycadsFertilizergardeniagardening in houstongardening in texaslearned in texasmulchnutrientspalmatexasgardeningWhat do you think?
