Gardening in the Texas Hill Country


Growing plants here is a challenge, but by trial and error our landscaping is coming together.
It is somewhat easier when your husband is a Master Gardener, too!

   Dorothy and Dave's Garden 

Combined Efforts

   After our home was built eight years ago, we began landscaping, and fortunately, we both enjoy it.  David has a vegetable garden as well as fruit trees and pecans. I enjoy the flowers – seeing what grows from cuttings, planting seeds, dividing plants and sharing them. One day David told my mom, “Dorothy’s plants never know where they are going to sleep the next night.”
