I didn’t spend much time last week in my garden. It rained most of the week, so I didn’t need to water. We have had some chilly windy days, so my sugar snap peas are holding on to the trellis and each other refusing to let the wind relocate them. I remember the first time […]

One of my favorite children’s books is The Big Hungry Bear by Don and Audrey Wood. I read it to my kids when they were little and read it to my grandson now. When I picked my first strawberry I gave it to him and he loved eating it. I have more strawberries blooming and […]

I was out in my garden on Saturday and picked a huge bowl of kale for green smoothies and kale chips. I still have tomatoes and my sugar snap peas are blooming! I spotted my first strawberry too. I am not sure with our wacky warm Texas winter what will happen with the strawberries, but […]
