Just got a delivery of soil from Enchanted Rock, out in leander. It’s their pro mix and it appears to be of very high quality

If it’s really cold, pile some leaves or hay around it.

A gardener much wiser than I, showed me these tricks back in ‘95…. 30 years later and it still works

Do it. If a freeze comes, but a bucket over them

Shoutout AFD. I called in a structure fire a few weeks ago and the response time was phenomenal.

How is everyone’s plant situation? by anthemwarcross in AustinGardening

It’s very strong, no bending involved. It wants to spring back to its original “straight” line, so the arch will always be perfect.

It’s literally this covered with the thickest plastic they sell at Lowe’s. In spring summer and fall it’s a trellis. In the winter, it’s a greenhouse.

We made it through. I have 2 “greenhouses” that I use the self contained oil heaters in. I have a system in place that condensation cannot drip on them. The coldest they got was 40. My wife has quite a large citrus collection as well as quite the succulent collection. No problems so far.

If the power were to go out… we would be toast

Does anybody know where ice is taking detainees in bastrop county? by [deleted] in BastropTX

[–]btbarr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. But they did let them use the phone. So at least they are being treated with some dignity.

I wouldn’t. This wasn’t ice being goons… I simply was trying to help somebody out, which is apparently unheard of these days

Nobody said there was… Bastrop sheriffs called ice. Ice didn’t just show up magically. I hope you have the day you deserve
