The awards keep coming for Supertunia Mini Vista Petunias
The awards keep coming for Supertunia Mini Vista Petunias
The awards just keep coming! When I last wrote about the Supertunia Mini Vista Indigo it was in 2020 and was making its debut. It had already won 24-awards in trials even though it was just arriving to the public. Now the awards are 3-dozen and in fact the Supertunia Mini Vista series now totals over 160. How can this be for a petunia with the word mini in its name? 02/17/2022 12:00 AM

Cold snap jitters: Paranoia or PTSD?
Cold snap jitters: Paranoia or PTSD?
As we held our breaths, awaiting last Thursday’s cold front, I probably wasn’t the only person in Dripping Springs who was looking back to last February’s “Snowpocalypse.” Okay. I’ll confess. I had been buying an extra case of water every week. I also was unpacking my heaviest sweaters, and yes, our family invested in a small propane generator. 02/10/2022 12:00 AM

Where were you at 11:38 a.m. on Jan. 28, 1986
As a bit of background, I was a proud supporter of NASA and our space program. No, I didn’t have dreams of becoming an astronaut -- not when I couldn’t summon the courage to ride the roller coaster at the State Fair. Not when I couldn’t ride the Tilt-A-Whirl with my friends without punctuating each ride with a rush to the restroom so I could throw up in privacy. 02/03/2022 12:00 AM

August Lavender Heliotrope sweeping awards across the country
Six months ago, The Garden Guy prognosticated that Augusta Lavender heliotrope was going to one of the hottest plants for 2022. This was really based on my trials at my house outside of Columbus, GA. 01/27/2022 12:00 AM

My family moved to the big city of Dallas the summer before my sixthgrade year…and I can truly say, moving from small-town San Angelo and Santa Rita School, where I had been since first grade, to Sudie L. Williams Elementary in Dallas was a culture shock of major proportions. 01/27/2022 12:00 AM
