I'm in Tyler. Just outside of city limits actually.
Raised beds for me too. I have a broken back and arthritis, so bending over is difficult. I bought a cute little garden scooter that is comfy and handy! Should be getting chickens soon. Though!! Squeegee!!
We were adopted by our cat Zelda pretty much the same way. We think he was abandoned during the 2008 crash. In Las Vegas it was really bad for pets there. Houses were found abandoned filled with cats and dogs that had nothing to eat. The "stray" population exploded. Zelda came along and he...
I homeschooled my sons all the way through high school as well. Unfortunately, at the time they were at the right age to start them on cursive, I was dumb and of the mind that it wasn’t a necessary thing to learn. NOW, 20 years later, I’m sorry that I didn’t teach them to write cursive. By...
We bought our property last year at exactly the right time. Not two months after we closed, the value of the house was almost 50K more than we bought it. Now it’s probably worth even more. I’m thankful we were able to get it when we could though. If we tried to buy something now, with our...

@baymule Thank you! I will... it might be later in the summer before I can get out there. Still recovering from back surgery in March... Slow healing, but definitely getting better every day. I'd love to pick your brains and see what all I can learn from you!
Hi there! yes I was excited to see that someone in my area was here and in the Herd forum too! You're doing pretty much what I want to do so I may stalk you a little bit here and there! LOL Not really, I'm not creepy! 😜
@Ridgerunner Black eyed peas and sweet potatoes are definitely on my...
Thank you for the advice! I'm for sure gonna follow my docs instructions. Don't want to go back to square one by messing up their amazing work! The garden will wait until I'm ready. There's still a ton of things we need to do to get ready for animals, rain catchment system, and gardening...
