Plant hardiness zones...
Zone ratings are intended to indicate excellent adaptability of the plants. Many plants may survive in warmer or colder zones. Usually, mere survival does not represent satisfactory performance. [more]

Gardening in North Texas...
Goodbye Fruit Flies
To get rid of pesky fruit flies, fill a small glass halfway with Apple Cider Vinegar and 2 drops of dishwashing liquid. Mix well. You will find those flies drawn to the cup and gone forever!
Thanks Betty!

Dallas Farmers Market
As conscience consumers become more aware of the quality of food they feed to their families, residents in North Texas, are lucky to have a fantastic place to find organic locally grown fruits and vegetables. The Dallas Farmers market offers locally produced products from Texas ranchers and farmers along with other sustainable food and non-food products. It's like the produce sold at the supermarket, only fresher and in most cases, much cheaper. The Market's demonstration kitchen plays host to a series of American Institute of Wine and Food-sponsored cooking classes, featuring the handiwork of Dallas-Fort Worth's top chefs.
Be sure to ask the booths you buy from if they are an organic farm, and be aware that there are vendors that sell products that are not produced locally. I only support local organic growers when possible.
Find out why. Take the "Buy Local Challenge"!
