http://bayoucitygarden.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
The Bayou City Garden. Rambling garden commentary staked down to Houston, Texas. Wednesday, March 25, 2009. Nut grass has balls. I pull them up, but their tubers stay under the filter fabric and send up new shoots. Sometimes the nodules do pull up out of the flower beds, and I stop to nick one with a fingernail and smell it. Did you ever notice what a delicious rootbeer scent a nut grass nut has? The delicious nut grass tubers come from yellow nut sedge or chufa /. So famine is one method of controlling ...

The Bayou City Garden: Rock out
http://bayoucitygarden.blogspot.com/2009/02/rock-out.html
The Bayou City Garden. Rambling garden commentary staked down to Houston, Texas. Friday, February 6, 2009. Now the pile of piles is sold, sorted, donated, restacked elsewhere, gone. This load of limestone blocks is the last thing to go. Those blocks made mighty good bed edging in my old garden, and I brought them along when we moved here. I am a bit sentimental about them. An old photo of the Houston High School building can be seen here. Posted by Muddy Mary. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The Mani...

The Bayou City Garden: January 2009
http://bayoucitygarden.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
The Bayou City Garden. Rambling garden commentary staked down to Houston, Texas. Wednesday, January 28, 2009. Midway through major modifications. In 2008 I referred here to a construction site formerly known as my garden. I’ve got some progress photos to show you the new back garden. It's fledging from its nest of hoarded plants and rock piles amongst the former construction site. A view of the patio. The little tree by the tank is a Mexican orchid tree (. I love to see a garden’s ‘BeforeR...To see if...

The Bayou City Garden. Rambling garden commentary staked down to Houston, Texas. Friday, February 6, 2009. I kicked little animals out into the cold. Over yonder in the yard was a pile of piles which I called The Quarry. It was full of good useful stuff- salvaged bricks, leftover stone—but it looked bad and it sprawled across my best garden real estate. (A new neighbor saw it once and burst out laughing, ‘You said you were a. Earthworms. (Not pictured: slugs, wood roaches, all sizes). Posted by Muddy Mary.

The Bayou City Garden. Rambling garden commentary staked down to Houston, Texas. Monday, February 9, 2009. Yes, The Alamo is in a garden. You just can’t miss an opportunity to go to San Antonio for a vintage Airstream trailer rally with friends. So I went. But while in town, I also stopped in at the former Mission San Antonio de Valero, better known as The Alamo. I had a personal reason for wanting to visit. Boning up on genealogy I recently learned that some of my. The sleek trunks of Texas persimmon,.

The Bayou City Garden: August 2008
http://bayoucitygarden.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
The Bayou City Garden. Rambling garden commentary staked down to Houston, Texas. Tuesday, August 26, 2008. Ahh, more room in the bed. Many thanks to Ms Brenda for the supply of rotted oak leaves, so rare and precious in the summer. Last weekend at the Houston Zen Center, I gave a talk about transforming dirt into garden soil. Working with the soil can be a great example of using the Buddhist Paramitas. What the heck are Paramitas and what do they have to do with dirt? Posted by Muddy Mary. The other bird...

http://bayoucitygarden.blogspot.com/2009/03/seedlings-no-tag.html
The Bayou City Garden. Rambling garden commentary staked down to Houston, Texas. Monday, March 23, 2009. Seedlings, no tag. These shorties sprouted from the pits of some exotic fruit eaten 3 years ago. Cherimoya? The tags are long gone. Maybe someone will recognize the leaves and if so, tell me please! I think it might be nice to know what I am growing. Posted by Muddy Mary. Great seedlings, even if they're unidentified for now. Look forward to finding out what they are. March 23, 2009 at 10:57 PM.
