Question of the Week: January 12, 2017"Neil, how far back can I prune my ___, and when should I do it?" The plant name in the blank is always changing, but the need remains the same: the plant is too large for its surroundings. I have suggestions. Photo: From the Sperry backyard |

Early Assessment of Cold DamageThis winter's cold has taken its toll on Texas landscapes and gardens. Temperatures last weekend were uniformly bitter over almost all of the state. I've polled the experts as well as my Facebook family. Photo: Variegated pittosporum has been hurt by the cold. |

And, in closingThat's it for another week of e-gardens. We're moving our offices this week, so if you find a comma misplaced or a sentence fragment in the wrong paragraph, forgive us our errors. We're very tired. Until next week, join me on Facebook, in newspapers, on podcasts or on radio. Or I'll see you in church. Happy
gardening! Neil |
