I was on the forum before but life got in the way. My only gardening to date has been keeping my bird of paradise alive for 8 years, 3 states, and 11 moves.

So I am starting over from scratch in new climate (Baytown, TX). I hope to stay in current house for several years but everything will be in containers just in case. Aim is some dwarf fruit trees and herbs to start. ETA: It is rental property with heavy nondraining clay soil.

Welcome Margali! Hope this year will be a great gardening year for you. I do some container gardening and they are high maintenance for me. My containers are huge and every couple years I have to remove the plant and refresh with new soil. It helps to heavily mulch them to prevent them from drying out.

one thing for sure. moving often keeps a person from accumulating too much stuff. :)
welcome back. hope your gardens/potted trees will do well for you.
 
I'm hoping wicking beds will work out for dwarf fruit trees and herbs. Aiming to make them out of halved food grade 55gal barrels.

Flowerbug- Do kids count? ;) I have 3 of those now. 6yr, 2.5yr, and 8mo.
 
Welcome! I lived in Baytown many years ago, now retired and live north of Tyler. I know the soil you have all too well! Glad to have you here!
