My husband is just fantastic at pictures. The monarchs haven't left yet. I need to print these pictures and hang them in my walls for peace. 🥰 🌱 #gardening #NTexas

The monarchs are very happy with my flowers right now. I probably have 30+ enjoying my mystic spires salvia, mistflower, and agastache! #NTexas #gardening 🌱

🌱 I love community plant groups. I got a free crepe myrtle (I absolutely love them) that a lady had already spent three years growing and tending. She just flat out didn't have room for it. Don't worry, it will be lovingly tended in my yard. 🥰 #gardening #NTexas

🌱 No pictures cause I'm lazy, but the fall green beans have started to pop! And for first time, I've done a fall planting of tomatoes (pulled the spring determinates when they were done, planted new in July). The Celebrity plants are growing like crazy, the Roma... not so much. 😬 #gardening #NTexas

Denton #Texas is where my library grad school TWU is and is a thriving NTexas college town - this hurts the community so much!
A funding source the Denton Public Library has previously used for library improvements at its three locations in the city might not be available for long.

In March, President Donald Trump issued an executive order to dismantle the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
Some federal funding for Denton libraries could be ending — here’s what that means
Denton Public Library operates three libraries: Emily Fowler Central Library in downtown Denton, North Branch Library on North Locust Street and South Branch Library.

🌱 I finally pulled all of my pepper plants and sowed green beans today. Some general clean up in the garden beds, as well as talking to my apple tree to try to figure out what's wrong with it. Getting beds ready for leafy greens in the next couple of weeks! #gardening #NTexas

🌱 It's too hot to plant anything now, and we are in the "let's just survive the summer" part of the year. Fall veggies are in and covered with shade cloth, native plants are doing their thing, so what do I do? Start planning for more beds. Cardboard and mulch time! #gardening #NTexas

I should only plan out my garden bed extensions in July and August (North Texas), not April. Maybe that will encourage me to keep it reasonable in size. 🤣 🌱 #gardening #NTexas

🌱 The summer heat is most definitely here. I need to put up my shade cloth. I also put up 12 more pints of pickles and have pretty much come to the end of the cucumber vines. I'm going to pull those soon, let the bed rest for a little bit, then sow winter squash. #gardening #NTexas

10 qts of red sauce (from 25# of tomatoes), 12 pints of pickles (I'm the only one in the house that eats pickles), an abundance of jalapeno and wax peppers, and I say to new gardeners: have a plan for produce that you grow! 😂 🌱#gardening # NTexas

Question for #gardening feed, specifically those that attempt pumpkin vines in a raised bed: how big is your raised bed, does it contain the vines, and what do you do to keep them contained, if not?

Context: raised bed that is 3'x6', wrapped in chicken wire to keep chickens and dogs out. 🌱 #NTexas

It sucks when the weather and my stupid body limit how much I can get done at one time, but I really do love working outside in my yards, building things, planting things, and planning for next steps. 🌱 #gardening #NTexas

🌱 hot day working in the garden (but downright pleasant if you are sitting in the shade!). I finally moved my last raised garden bed because I harvested all of the onions this morning. Emptied my compost bin into the "new" bed so it can do its thing between now and next spring. #gardening #NTexas

Okay 🌱, onion question. This is only my second year growing onions. I know I'm supposed to wait until the leaves flop over and begin to yellow before pulling. One or two of the onions have done so, but these aren't ready to harvest yet, right? #gardening #NTexas

Texans are kinda tickled by the comment. It’s something we would have said. In winter, the comments are: “the only thing protecting nTexas from the North Pole is barbwire. “

As much as I love to see hummingbirds at the feeders (3, at last count!) it makes me even happier to see them at the flowers in my garden. 🌱 #gardening #NTexas
