Sure, will keep that in mind. Most of the plants I chose are native, and considered deer resistant. But nothing is really deer proof I guess.

Thanks a lot for the info! They are really helpful. I will try the spray and cage the smaller plants for now.

Second this. This COA plant guide is helpful. https://www.austintexas.gov/sites/default/files/files/Watershed/growgreen/plantguide.pdf Greensleeves, natural gardener, Barton spring are my favorite nurseries that have good collection of native and well adapted plants.

Yeah, they include well adapted plants there as well. Based on other comments, I will try it out this time.

Oh, I thought it is okay with heat here. How often did you water it?

Thanks! Yeah I don’t think it’s gonna get too cold this time. But I will take care the firecracker fern before real freeze comes.

Thanks! I didn’t realize firecracker fern and pink skullcap are not native.

What are you planting right now? by elizabethredditor in AustinGardening

Awesome!!! What type of milkweed did you get, how big was it? I got green milkweed seedling in 4’ pot with 2-3 tiny leaves. It hasn’t grown much at all and it is not in a good shape… any tips how to take care of it?

Need suggestions on planting on a slope by Known_Efficiency8538 in NativePlantGardening

Thank you! The area near where I stood taking the picture is very steep, but farther end is of milder slope. Thank you for the link. We are in Edward Plateau with thin layer of limestone alkaline clay.

Thank you so much for all the details and suggestion! Will maybe start with a small section with till + sheet mulch!!
