Gardening 101: Finally Fall planting
Fall is a good planting season. Beets, carrots and spinach can go deep into the winter.
To garden in North Texas is to accept what mother nature will throw at you. Expect to be humbled. What I try to do with Gardening 101 is learn alongside you as we navigate the boundaries that the weather and topography bind us to. I hope to get the most out of our landscapes without losing plants, surrendering too much time, or – worst of all – having a boring yard. There is much to learn and much to grow. -Jeff
