This is a collection of thoughts and pictures about something I love to do in my pastime.....gardening and yardwork. I live in the great blackland of North Texas where the weather changes by the minute. There is always a challenge when planting in this area

Spring Is Coming!
Most people use the little furry groundhog in Pennsylvania to forecast the coming of spring. If he sees his shadow, six more weeks of winter. If he doesn't, he stays out and spring is on its way. I however choose to use what I think is the more accurate means of forecasting.......Walmart!
That's right ladies and gentlemen, spring is right around the corner because our local Walmart has put out a lot of the lawn and garden supplies just ready to go. I can hardly wait. It's February 7 and I have actually worn shorts for most of the day today. It's really nice outside, but I don't know if I'm really ready for spring yet. I'm one who doesn't like the summer very much at all so I like to make sure that I am really tired of the winter cold. But since I saw the scene at Wally World, I guess I need to prepare myself. I didn't actually see it, but I bet somewhere there is still a row of Christmas items they still can't get rid of.

Yay for Walmart! Wahoo! lol! lol! Thanks for keeping my Walmart stock up! lol! lol! I think that is a very very good way to forecast the weather. Our garden center is just beginning to put things in the inside and they won't get plants for a very long time. lol! Mom and I went to Lowe's on Friday and we drooled over all the seeds and things. It was so fun and made us want to dig in the dirt. lol!
Kelly, you are a hoot and a half! LOL I think if I am remembering right that you can safely plant the tenderest plants when ever the pecan trees have leafed out. I still remember a huge pecan tree right down the street from us in Weatherford that I would watch each spring and sure enough it wouldn't frost any more after that tree had its leaves. I think the latest frost date for Weatherford was March 19th.
I can't wait to see your updates as your gardens progress. SO GREAT!
