Ronni, go with Carolyn's advice. It has been several years since I have grown hydrangeas or clematis, so I gave you poor advice. Thank heavens...
Ronni, wait a while for the cutting back. There may still be live tissue in the stems, and it would be best to let nature take its course and let...
Good one, Cheryl--congratulations!
Ronni, have you had a strong frost (32 or below for three or more hours?) It looks to me as if your clematis and hydrangea are simply going dormant.
Thank you! As Cheryl noted, central Texas isn't exactly a hot-spot for fall foliage. However, thanks to your great photos, we get to enjoy color...
And yet another warm welcome from Texas! We are in central Texas with the ability of gardening for about 10 months of the year. Please post any...
Oh my stars, that is absolutely gorgeous! Thanks for the photos--I've never seen an orchid tree before, and wouldn't have known what I was...

Welcome from Central Texas! You'll really enjoy being on the Stew--great folks and great gardeners here.
The red leaves are what most of us think of as poinsettia blooms. Actually, the little yellow balls in the center are the blossoms, and the leaves...

That should work just fine. When the pile stops smelling like manure, it should be ready. The length of time depends on temperature, moisture, and...
John, don't worry about it--we all get help wherever we can! I have armadillos that dig small deep holes (ankle-turners) that are ideal for small...
Perhaps he ordered Italian bees? We have them, ordered from a bee supplier here in Texas. They are docile and good honey producers. They also...
Welcome to the Stew! Wait until you meet Kildale, the ultimate photographer of birds, wildlife, etc. We all admire his photos, and contribute our...
Well CariAnn, you have fallen in with a lot of like-minded folks! Welcome from Central Texas! We have a cat who rules the household, chickens who...
We would be okay as long as the house and/or barn wasn't destroyed. We do need shelter! Food wouldn't be a problem, and we'd happily share with...
Philip, when I first started taking flowers for birthdays, the activities director just gave me names of the ladies. I asked about men having...
Or, vice versa . . . .
Good idea--strip kid and then give him cake! Clean-up is so much easier--just dunk him and rinse him off.
