Happy Monday, Friends! Today I am excited to join the Outdoor Summer Tours hosted by dear Cindy from County Road 407. I'll show you how I embrace Mother Nature in my Texas Hill country garden style by cultivating a drought-tolerant meadowscape that encourages pollinators

Happy Monday, Friends! Fall has finally arrived in Texas, so I've been busy cleaning up the garden, trimming established plants that were scorched during our extreme weather this summer and planting some new perennials. Join me for a virtual stroll

Happy Wednesday Friends! Today's May Flower is actually a blooming vine: fragrant Honeysuckle. It has to be one of my all time favorites and on Spring mornings, you can find me standing by my garden gate deeply inhaling its intoxicating aroma. Honeysuckle also makes a great privacy plant forming a vast scented curtain of greenery. In my climate it stays green year round.
Happy Wednesday Friends! While we didn't have much in the way of April showers in my area, I would still like to share some of my favorite May flowers this month. First in the series is today's feature, Blue Sage. Its vibrant blue spiked bloom creates a showy display and has brought more than one visitor to my door to inquire its name. It is often mistaken for Bluebonnets and even Lavender. Once planted it grows like wild, plus it is drought tolerant and is one of the very few plants the deer absolutely will not eat--I promise!
It is so lovely it has become a favorite backdrop for photo shoots including this one featured in Style Me Pretty...
Hello Friends! Here in the Texas Hill Country, we are still having unusually cold weather for the season. Typically by the time March comes around, I have been out in my garden for weeks but this year our warm weather days seem to be followed by wet, cold ones! Even so, my garden is beginning to show the first signs of Spring with colorful blooms that defy the otherwise dreary weather. Today I am sharing some of my favorite drought tolerant perennials as well as some colorful hardy container plants for your Spring garden.

Carolina Jessamine is a pretty vine that stays green most of the year and displays vibrant yellow blooms in Spring. This is a great plant if you are new to gardening and one of the first I planted.
Greetings Friends! Here in the dry Texas Hill Country with its poor rocky soil and abundance of deer who devour plants that are supposedly deer resistant, herbs have become the foundation of my garden. I can't get enough of these hardy, drought tolerant, mostly deer resistant wonders! With their wealth of culinary, nutritional and healing benefits I consider them the gardener's best value.
