New From Austin Texas

[OldGuy43]

Howdy from Travis County, Texas. I'm 68 and retired. I tried my first garden ever last year. Unfortunately, we ended up in the worst drought ever, not to mention the hottest summer on record. Didn't have any luck at all. About all I got was a half-dozen small tomatoes, a few ears of corn and some Kale. I haven't given up though. I think I'll try planting much earlier this year. Maybe in February. If this site is anything like BYC I look forward to learning a lot.

Welcome Oldguy43! This was a challenging year for most of us, some more than others. Kind of tough when your first garden is planted in a record breaker of bad years! But hang in there and never quit, you'll learn a lot with each garden.

I share your summer woes this year we got that same drought and heat, it was wicked for sure. I was able to keep the garden alive through the worst of it (and have the water bills to prove it) and have had a really good fall garden (just not tomatoes) I plan on planting much earlier too, and getting early producing varieties.
