Welcome, to our zone 8a garden!

This is where we play and practice. A 1,000 square foot garden on black gumbo clay in North Texas with one goal in mind: abundance. Every year, and each season, we see the goal grow closer as hard work and good practices are layered in place. In the spring, it is home to plastic diggers, dumpers and fresh loads of compost. The peas spring up, and the chill comes and goes. Summer brings warmth, and the plans jump in size and production. This is when we sweat; a lot. Midsummer here is quite like winter, and we pause. Come fall, we take to action again, prepping for the tunnels that will hold things all winter.

Each season, we share the new seeds, techniques and ideas we are preparing for the next. Reflection on new obstacles and successes intertwined with next year's lofty plans. Join us as we share the realities of new gardens in a non-gardening state, suburban neighborhood during the early years of child rearing.
