With Spring here and with
everyone getting ready to plant different types of gardens, it seems to me like some people have a green thumb while
others have not a clue when it comes to gardening and can’t seem to get anything to grow.
My question for you is what kind of advice can you give me on planting a healthy flower or
vegetable garden this Spring? How would one ensure that their garden is continually
producing and looking beautiful and healthy? What plants and vegetation grows best in this Texas weather?

Dear Future Gardener,
I have been in Texas for some time now and I have come to realize, the weather is unpredictable. I would always go for drought tolerant plants like potato vine. I personally believe that having a green thumb is a talent and a skill in which you can make a career out of if you’re any good and know a lot about growing. If you’re a beginner, start with something small and easy and go from there. With any skill or talent, gardening takes experience and practice! Patience is also a great attribute to possess when you garden! Always remember fertilizer and regular watering are your friends.
