Howdy from the Texas hill country

[deckman22]

New here but, long time gardener. I built my retirement shack here in Bandera, Tx. in the southern part of our hill country.

Looking to learn and share what I can.

Pretty much the usual suspects for this time of year. Onions, red taters, lettuce, beets, chard, spinach, carrots, peas, arugula are all growing now. Just planted some green beans, might have jumped the gun on them but, the freeze wiped out some other things planted so I took a chance no more freezes. Bought some tomato and pepper plants at the Ace Hardware a couple of days ago, but holding off putting them in the ground.

Welcome! We are in central Texas, with flower, herb, and vegetable gardens. We also have hens, who contribute a lot of "good stuff" to the gardens.
Isn't Bandera a cowboy capital town?

That's great, I like the idea of having hens but only got a small garden and it's got a lot of fruit trees and plants in it.
