Julie is all over the place this week. What's happening in your yards? Gorgeous iris. Ducks. Too much time talking about gourds (Hey weirdo--nice gourds) AND ANNUAL RANT ON SQUASH VINE BORERS!

A show inspired by the full moon and easter. It's Easter. It's a full moon. It's the Pink Moon. It's not even pink, but whatever. Julie walks around in the dark under the Pink Moon, thinks about a lot of stuff like gardening by the moon and focuses on phlox, MOONFLOWERS & Easter lilies.

Sweet potato planting window is April through the end of June--Julie explains how to start sweet potato slips. Also all about Orange Paintbrush wildflowers, plus dealing with insects in the strawberries. Near the end of the episode, she talks about activating your compost pile with horticultural molasses.

Woohoo! The bluebonnets are blooming! Everything is getting green and colorful. This show includes chit chat about bluebonnets, blue eyed grass, primroses, spiderwort plus basic organic pest control!

Ooo...Texas Mountain Laurel--gorgeous flowers & heady, sweetness. Plus what the cuss is going on with the oak trees dropping leaves?!

Yay! Julie is super excited for Spring--she's so happy for the warmer, sunnier days and she's rather enthusiastic about ornamental redbuds, white cemetery iris and gets a little nerdy about xeric landscaping. Oops.

Julie wonders if Spring will ever come to Central Texas, discusses advantages of in-ground & above ground gardening, gives the ratio for raised bed mix for Central Texas and then closes the show with a spotlight on cilantro and oregano!

Central Texas has finally passed the Last Average Frost Date--with cautious optimism WE CAN PLANT OUR GARDENS!!! Also, it's time to prune fruit trees and the last segment of the show Julie highlights jujube trees. Heck yeah.

Julie is not patient. She's sick of this cold, damp, dumb weather. This week's episode focuses on the very, very basics of HOUSEPLANTS. Part 1.

We are soooo close to warmer spring days--let's get ready. Let's plant one last round of cold season crops outside, but also start lots more inside. It's time to plant Irish Potatoes in Central Texas! + herbs, like basil & borage.
