A personal
account of herb gardening in Austin, Texas
Austin, Tx is blessed with beautiful scenery and warm
winters, but gardeners must also face the curses of alkaline, clay soil
and dry, hot summers. When first moving to the area Ann Marie made
all the mistakes newcomers make--azaleas were planted and died, she couldn't
understand why pansies planted in May were gone in June. She became
frustrated that her midwestern green thumb seemed to have turned black.
Then she discovered HERBS!! This page is a description of her experiences
with this wonderful group of plants.
