Gardening in Austin: Article on Gardening from Slate Magazine

The Science of Gardening: How evidence-based growing beats relying on old wives' tales.

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.
