April Showers Bring Flowers And Cash Too!

Does money Grow on Trees? Nope but in a sense it grows on flowers!

Well it finally rained in our part of Texas!! Thank the Lord ! Ibelieve we have had about 5 1/2 inches in the last week or so between the towns of Hearne and Franklin. and it is no understatement to say it was sorely needed. Here's a little taste of all my wife's hours , TLC , and lots of weed pulling. I don't mind pruning , hauling , fertilizing etc....but just don't like pulling weeds. We just love it when everything starts to bloom here in Robertson County, Texas. It is almost like a daily TV series show just waiting to see what will bloom next.

Nothing beats having well established flower beds when it comes to selling a home this time of year. The sights and smells absolutely influence prospective home buyers decisions. But it takes time to achieve a productive flower garden. So even if your not thinking of selling your home in the immediate future......it wouldn't hurt one bit to get started on establishing your gardens now. Oh ...and you'll get more for the home too when you finally do put it on the market. And it will sell faster.

There are really only 4 things that domesticated plants need us humans to help with : water, sunlight, food, and weeding. Also Texas sun and wind can really wreck havoc on all your efforts if you don't keep those plants watered regularly. And they need a good soaking regularly. The number one mistake folks make is to just kind of wet the surface of the earth and the leaves of the plants. WRONG! Get those roots a good drink!

Have a Wonderful spring!
