The Miracle of Frost ClothIf you ever doubted whether covering tender plants with frost cloth in the winter might make a difference, wait 'til you see what's on the next page. Photo: This photo was taken the day we covered a planting of cast iron plants in our landscape (Dec. 8, 2016). We just uncovered them a few days ago. See them! |

Redbud RoundupMy wife loves redbuds. Therefore, I love redbuds as well. And this time of year is purely inspirational. They're in bloom all across Texas, and they love our state. I've assembled a bunch of the varieties you'll see in your local nurseries right now. Photo: Bee visits redbud in spring |

And, in closingYou've come to the end. We go no farther. At least until this same time and place next week. But you can join me on the radio any day of the week, on podcasts any minute of the week, on Facebook at any time that you please and in newspapers when you sit down to read. This was fun. Let's do it again! Oh, and I feel like signing books. If you'd like a copy of my newest book, Neil Sperry's Lone Star Gardening, you can buy it here at any time or you can call my office (800) 752-4769 during weekday business hours. Remember that this book isn't in stores or on Amazon. It's the best work I've ever turned out (except for my children). There. Now I'm done. Happy gardening! Neil |
