Moving from Alaska to Texas, I have had to learn new gardening ways. I must say, it was less challenging in Alaska. I plan to take a few gardening courses. It’s been discouraging to say the least!

This cactus was knocking on death's door about 15 years ago. It survived the cats using it as a toy once it started to grow.

Once in a while you get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

I burned my two spots off Wednesday. I’ll fertilize and till them when it’s dry enough. Cabbage and tater planting time quickly approaches.
Yes. We had a few days where the highs didn’t get out of the 30’s...lows in the teens. That’s pretty cold for us. It’s almost like spring out there right now. We just got back from OKC (my Son’s Academic team was in the state tournament) and I just fed my dogs in the dark. No need for a jacket. But it’s supposed to get cold again next week. Nothing like the ups and downs of weather.

We have academic quiz bowl teams in the public schools. The playoffs are overseen by the activities association. Four kids comprise a team. They start with 20 toss up questions where the kids buzz in and answer like on Jeopardy. Then the second quarter is called a lightening round. They choose from 3 categories (the team in the lead gets the choice to choose first or to defer first choicemuntil the fourth quarter) and then are asked 10 questions in one minute which they answer as a team. In the second half they do it all over again. Points are awarded for correct answers and a winning team is determined. We finished second in our class (103 different public schools) in Oklahoma this year. My boy loves this competition. The teams have to advance through districts, regionals and area to make it to the state tournament like in sports.
