They Said it Couldn't be Done



When these "master gardeners" moved from Connecticut to Central Texas, some of our friends lamented that gardening would be impossible in the new, harsh environment. Well, here is our berm--installed in January after we had been here a little over a month. It is now August, and I think it is going to last.

The berm was designed to give us a little privacy. Our neighbors are great, but the houses are somewhat closer together than we were accustomed to in Canton. As you can see, it has filled in well, and there are still lots of spots to tuck in other plants in the months to come that tolerate drought conditions and that are not delectable to deer.
