Gardening in Austin: Spiders abound because it's been so damn wet the mosquitos have taken over.

Spinybacked Orbweaver web in the setting sun.

Welcome

I got frustrated trying to find guides on what to grow in Austin after having grown up in Parker, Colorado, so I decided to start a blog about my trials and tribulations in both veggie gardening (which I used to be pretty good at) and regular landscaping (which, admittedly, I didn't have any experience in). My first attempts were abysmal and I still routinely kill more plants than I can keep alive. But I'm getting better.

Proudest Landscaping moment of 2012: Coming up with a back yard landscape plan. It may take me 5 years, but at least I have a destination.
