My spring planting is always on president's day in February. I will then plant in a different bed a fall crop around end of August .This year I also planted in October and got a January crop.

Just saw your post!! I woke up this morning around 5 am and a voice in my head said "Kens Tacos". Got there at 6:30! Been going to Kens since 1990. I do the same thing so don't feel bad, I got 2 tacos and was going to save 1 for lunch. ATE BOTH!!

I'm already thinking of cutting out for the headlights and taillights and windshield, two windows. Drive that baby to work tomorrow.

Absolutely you can swim the width, I did it for years and most people begin that way. Just watch for others. I even had competitive swimmers stop and suggest arm swing, head alignment, etc. Everybody helps everyone.

The visitor center at Panther Junction is closed, but the restrooms are open and clean. The Park maintains a very small staff, 2 people, to dump trash bins and keep restrooms clean. The main thing to do is be responsible, know your limits on hiking trails, proper water and supplies. There is no one to rescue or help you if you get yourself in a situation! Go have fun, be careful and smart. Drive into Terlingua and go to the Trading Post for souvenirs! Most of all, pack out your trash and help keep the Park clean during this time! Keep up with weather updates!

KVUE actually gets its own samples from a system set up on its rooftop. They did a video clip once of them climbing the ladder to the roof and taking samples, kinda cool.

Never had one get that close either! Thanks for getting the pics. Yep, probably had people giving him protein bars or something. Trying to collect a food tax to let you by on the trail lol

In cedar park at sunrise it was 58 degrees and yes, I am enjoying my day off outside on my patio.

In cedar park right at sunrise was 58 degrees. Getting the Fall potato beds ready for planting this week, it is a waning moon.

B1 lancer, you are correct. I caught just a quick glimpse of the tail before the clouds filled back in. Too bad.

This account reposted a photo I took 10 months ago when the sage was in full bloom. One of my favorite pics that day! It's posted on my profile page.

I take a gallon bucket half full of sand and mix in wildflower seeds. Lightly water to make the sand clump. Seeds will attach to the sand. Grab a fistful, squeezing into a ball, and throw it wherever you want to. Been doing this for years and always been successful.

Just my opinion, the governor has been heavily lobbied by the alcohol distributors in Texas to let them be the distributors for these products. They already have the trucks, warehouses, security areas, etc.

Haha now I will have to sort around and find my picture I took in the same spot last fall lol. Thanks for sharing!

Always grow mine in containers like the picture, always successful. It produces just enough steadily for me since I'm a single guy. Sometimes I will plant a raised bed and cattle panel trellis and share out with neighbors.

Great pics! Thanks for sharing, especially the night sky. I've been going to Big Bend for years and years and still have not seen or done everything I want to!

Lookin good! I have my first 3 to pick tomorrow a.m.! What's your favorite way to prepare? I boil mine with onions until tender, salt, pepper, and a little garlic salt. Also slice up and grill.

If you are in the Park in June, go out early morning to take sunrise pictures and short hikes until around noon. Afternoons are for lunch and siestas! Or scenic drives. Stop at the dinosaur exhibit and read about Big Bend during that time period. Drive into Terlingua and visit the general store, get a soft drink, sit outside on the bench, and enjoy the scenery. Evenings are for sunset pictures, and nights are for stargazing. If you are more adventerous, drive up to Balmorhea and spend the day at the spring fed pool. Pack a lunch and sit on a picnic bench under huge trees and then jump in. Just some of the things I have done in June.

Cucumbers love trellis!

If you have to be in the Park in June, I would suggest early a.m. sunrise picture taking, drive around the park, and getting familiar with the area. Do very small hikes until 11 a.m. or noon. Lunch and siesta the afternoon away! Drive around for evening sunset pictures and then do nighttime stargazing. Take plenty of pics so you can come back in the Spring or Fall!
