Spring is springing in Texas! I saw my first patch of blue bonnets blooming on the side of the road today! So beautiful! I am looking forward to wonderful things...next week is Spring Break, and I have a date with my gardens, my shovel, my rake, my trowel, and my fresh home brewed chicken manure! Can't wait to see what my chicken manure does for my flowers and my food...very exciting. I have lots of planting to do! Decided to plant all 7 of my window boxes with herbs! So far, tarragon, cinnamon basil, lemon thyme, traditional sage, oregano, and lavender! Super excited about this! Usually, I spend tons of money on annuals, which look pretty for a season, but then, of course, they perish. Thus, more money must be spent as the seasons change to keep plentiful prettiness where my window pain meets my living room, bedrooms, family room, kitchen...you get the picture. I decided to experiment more with growing my own food. It's hot in Texas, so herbs are a must. They like the heat! So, I have begun the task of planting pretty little sprouts in my window boxes and I am really looking forward to the bountiful rewards! I've decided to experiment with making homemade spaghetti sauce with my girls. So, the next thing going in the ground? Tomatoes! Lots and lots of different kinds of tomatoes! I am going to experiment by planting one variety in a hanging pot on my porch to see what happens. Wish me luck!
