Gardening in West Texas Week 4

Wow what a crazy week this has been! Last Monday we had a blizzard that dumped over 7 inches of snow on our backyard. Infact on Friday there was still snow in parts of out yard! Now obviously with such frozen ground I didn't get much tilling done :). Yesterday I went outside for a little bit because I had some beautiful flow bulbs to plant. I hope they grow well and produce some great bee drawing flowers. We also had a small fire in our backyard yesterday I hope it was just something the wind blew in! Here are some pictures for the week.
24 hours after 7 inches of snow it reached 66 degrees! Look close you can see the snow ;)

Everything is really slow growing still 75 today for a high I bet next week we see more growth!

I still need to transplant these my little monkeys took my pots

These sunflowers are getting pretty crazy!

I would love for my garden to be doing as well as yours. I just purchased some planter boxes because I can not plant an actual garden my way (thank you HOA).

Looking good, I have a few more months and a lot more so to go before I can think about my garden. Jealous! :)

Homemade Fly Traps

We all love summer but as the weather gets warmer the flies get worse and worse. We have a bush out front of our house that I swear just attracts every fly in town! I wanted to get rid of them but I didn't want to kill all the wonderful butterflies it also attracts. So I went about finding a new way to kill them all. I had some empty Tazo tea bottles I simply poked a pen sized whole in the top, added 1/2 cup of water, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1 tablespoon of dish soap, and 1 tablespoon of syrup.Now I do find that these work better if you place them in the sun :O) If you want to use a bigger container simply multiply the ingredients. Make sure your hole is only about the size of a pen cap! Then they can't seem to get back out.lol
