Cold in Austin

Today we woke up to a cool/cold morning.

The garden has been turned and organic compost added ( home made in a compost bin)

After this week, will be seeding the lettuce garden and watering with Organic fertilizer.

I have five (5) rain water collection tanks that are full, total reserve is about 800 gallons

this water is used to water most of my garden, potted plants and other trees.

Removed a older Red Bud tree, 11 years old, picked up a surface burying beetle that caused
the tree to become ill. So it was time to remove it and plant a Mexiacan White Oak,
also known as a Monterrey Oak (http://texastreeplanting.tamu.edu/Display_Onetree.aspx?tid=86)

Better tree than the Red Bud (http://texastreeplanting.tamu.edu/Display_Onetree.aspx?tid=16) but lacks
flowers.

Might plant another Red Bud for Color.

till next time.....
