    Glad this thread got started. Need to figure out what to plant this year. Have a small area in our yard that’ll be half vegetables and half for pollinators. My daughter really wants butterflies and bees to visit

        I’ve found that zinnias (sp?) are easy to grow and prolific. Butterflies seem to like them where I’m at. Also look at bee balm/bush. Firecracker will attract hummers too.

            Thanks, she’ll be 3 this spring and wasn’t impressed with my garden this year. Every day we had to go down to the corner and watch the bees. I’m also looking at Columbine, bridal wreath spirea and fragrant mimosa

              Pulled a couple of cauliflower heads today. Brocolli did well too. Eating the residual florettes now. Garlic and cilantro doing well. Lettuce and spinach continuing to produce. Bunching onions are out of control. Table onions will go in within the next couple of weeks. Usual cast of characters for spring garden....

                I like gardening.
                Humic and fulvic acid are excellent

                    Recently replanted some wild garlic that I dug from the farm. Starting to get settled in pretty good.

                      Go to the dollar store and see if they have zinnias. You could also buy some marigold seed. Cheap and prolific.
                      Young kids are hard on plants so having lots of them helps with the learning curve.

                      Columbine was hard to grow. I failed.

                      Butterfly weed is also an option.

                      If you have room for a climbing vine...try morning glory. Kids like em and you can gather the seed To plant next year. Come in diff colors.

                        There is a tree called Texas Orange or Republic of Texas orange. It’s supposed to be alittle more cold hardy. Think it was developed in Angleton.

                          Google "Panzarella citrus Lake Jackson". Retired fella who has been dabbling in citrus for a long time.

                              Got onions, garlic, a little kale, mustard out the wazoo (volunteers), a molasses tub full of leaf type lettuce of different varieties, another couple molasses tubs of spices and a bunch of rye grass.

                                He has developed several varieties of citrus and even some stone fruit varieties too. Check him out! He puts on grafting classes too, for those who want to learn.
