Grinds for my Garden

At Starbucks we give our coffee grinds to anyone who asks so they can mix it in the dirt for their garden. Every year it makes me want to start a garden. Yes, it is very hard work!

My wonderful husband was so excited for my new "project". He worked so hard to get the garden going for me. Here are the starting pictures; Texas has very hard clay. The mixture of all the dirt looks so neat.


Being in Texas it takes a lot more to keep a garden going. The heat alone is against you. I only got a few plants to go into my garden in case it didn't work out.

I planted 2 tomato plants, a lavender plant, oregano and a rosemary bush. Well, one tomato plant is barely hanging on... but the other is a goner.
My rosemary bush, and my oregano is taking off. Everyone should have a rosemary bush it makes you feel like you are a good gardener.
I have a wild Mornig Glory plant that makes me feel so happy. Every year it comes back and this plant also makes me feel like I am a good gardener, but God gave me this plant. I don't believe it would look so good if I planted it.
