New to the site, in southwest Gillespie County, epicenter of last February's ice event. Time I got everything back squirting where it should (and not squirting where it shouldn't Green Grin! ), it was past start-a-spring-garden season. Got in a few peppers and eggplants and then of all things a dang porcupine got in and lopped EVERYTHING off at the base. Harvested three squash off of a seed a bird must've pooped out by the chicken coop, but other than that 2021 was a wash.

2020 was so-so, it was our first year here fulltime, coming from the coast near Corpus where it's a 360 day growing season, and what brought me here was a DDG search on last frost dates. Liked the layout of that particular page so much I decided to join.

Enough. I'm starting a novel. Anyone ever feel the need, tell me to shut up. They write memes about my wife and me....ever see the "saying good bye in Texas" one? Rolling on the floor laughing
