My soil here is in terrible shape.

Over farmed for years, mostly cotton which sucks out all the nutrients.

Then let sit to bake in the TX sun with no trees.

It would make really good bricks.

I have had cracks in the earth that I could stick most of my leg in during the dry season.

It has been a lot of work just to get a good garden plot going.

Three years, but now I have some worms, Yeaaa !!!

The fruit trees are coming along nicely, should have some fruit this year.

I have been growing the rest of the fruit in containers, and I hope to be able to
plant those around the fruit trees soon.

I have a local organic market that said they will buy everything I can raise.

And a couple of chefs that will trade me food for food.

And several people are waiting on the watermelons and cantaloupe.


Currently I am working on ways to retain moisture in the summer season in the garden, and capturing rainwater for irrigation.

Sure is different gardening in TX verses IN
