I grew up in the 50s-60s at Franklin and Guadalupe. Black soil gardening expecially veggies were awesome. We also discovered that the water storage tank at Koenig and Lamar leaked and the water ran under our homes. The trees we planted grew like weeds. Larry
After 10 years gardening on solid rock in Rollingwood, I moved into a 40's cottage in the North Loop area spring 2007. The little postage stamp yard is black clay and no one had ever dug a single flower bed. After visiting Key West a few years ago, I came back inspired by the little frame cottages, white painted railings, and rustling palm leaves. So the plan is: desert tropical cottage garden.
