Is there a gardening club for beginners in Kingwood online? Ju

ZMAN :
Well, I wanted a a salsa, garden tomatoes, cilantro, jalapeños, but we kind of went wild and now we have Anaheim and bell peppers habanero, Serranos, land lots of herbs and marigolds to help keep the pests away it the small tub is mint and horseradish

catperson1 :
Your garden looks great, and I hope it produces all the things that you are working on to grow. I admire people who grow their own food, this is something I hope to work on myself in the future.

Txbutterfly Ruger5: wasn't there a KW garden club meeting in the room in the back with us the last time we had lunch at J Christopher's? I forget their association name, but I remember it being gardening related. This was September/October-ish.

Bahahha you think I remember that!!! I vaguely remember us meeting for lunch and a large group being there. I do not remember them. Oddly, I remember CUZ being dressed from the gym and she was headed to Costco after lunch 🙃 after that...nada

I want to try growing a lasagna garden! I want to grow watermelons this summer 🍉

donnatella :
It was West Lake Houston Garden Club.

Nesracc :
My dad grew melons every year, big field of them. I hated picking melons hahah

Yea it's imperative to have solar shade here in AZ. I've had success with Cherokee Purple and Celebrity but no where near the success I had in TX. Same agricultural zone 9a as Kingwood but the sun is absolutely brutal here. It's too late for me to start seeds- my winter tomatoes are still producing. I may buy an established tomato plant and bury the pot and see if I can get summer tomatoes. I don't have enough money to amend my soil for growing in the ground and I'd probably have to rent a jack hammer 🤣.
I tell you what though- citrus LOVE this soil. My lemon tree produced over 200 lemons! My grapefruit and blood orange tree gave us about a dozen each. My lime produce 2-3 times a year. I won't be lacking vitamin C

Yes there is a Kingwood Garden Club. You don't have to be an expert. You can learn as you go. There's many experienced ladies but not everyone is. I know several who are very involved. Soon they will have a garden tour! I enjoyed going.

muffy : Heyya! So, I'm not sure if Kingwood Library was using the same program I was, but I got an email last September, and when H.R. 1 was signed into effect, it ended funding for that program.
I've been reaching out to try and find another way to get them out to Octavia Fields, and if I manage to get someone scheduled, I'll let y'all know.
And I expect y'all to show up, too! Nothing kills a program faster then people don't come lol

Hi! Thanks for replying. I would come and pass the word. I really enjoyed the session I went to. Time flies so fast when one is retired. I can't remember if it was last spring or the one before. At any rate, thanks for all you do for the community! You are appreciated. Harris County has a great library system! ❤️

muffy :
Thank you, thank you, we try!!!
