It's freezing here in Dallas. And not like normal, when it's 55 degrees outside and you hear one of us pansy Texans say, "Man, it's freezing out here." No, it's really freezing. Twenty-five degrees, to be exact.
So instead of preparing the soil in some of my vegetable gardens I have decided to take this time to do a little R&D. I have been digging up some really good information about organic gardening. I guess I haven't mentioned it as of yet, but my garden is going to be organic. In my humble opinion, this is the only way to go. Pouring chemicals into my garden seems to be a contradiction in so many ways.
At any rate, I sent off my soil sample to Texas A&M yesterday and now need to await the results. I have, however, determined that my soil is a very rich, black clay. This will be good as it supports an ample amount of plantlife.
I have also been doing some thinking about what type of plants I would like to grow, which will determine what type and how much preparation my garden will need. I will be attempting to grow some tomatoes, peppers, squash, blueberries, and a few ornamentals as well.
More on what my garden will need for all this tomorrow. Until then, happy gardening!
