X/ Alphabe-Thursday

Xerogardening

Xerogardening is gardening in a way that reduces or eliminates the need to water plants. These are a few of the plants in my garden from spring through autumn.

I am linking to Jenny Matlock at Alphabe-Thursday HERE

  20. I have heard water called The Next Oil, because in many places we are running out of easily available water and will have to start rationing it better.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Yes...water saving! XeroGardening is something we practice here in West Texas. Beautiful flowers...they got all the water they needed! I hope my tomatoes do well on XeroGardening...if they need more we are hoping for SOME rain! Great X word!

  24. Well, I'm impressed! Kudos to you for the environmental concern and for your ability to grow such gorgeous plants!

  25. Me again! Re your confusion about the light and the brick. No, it's not upside down. That's the trouble when I try to get artsy. Nobody understands the photo. Mea culpa! But I shall not give up. Artsy is my right!!! Right?

    Have a great day! And a great weekend. We're heading south so will be out of pocket for a few days...

  26. I was reading an article a few weeks ago on this method of gardening...why I didn't think of this for an X word is beyond me.

    This was a lovely mosaic of flowers. My garden is overflowing with flowers now. The batchelor buttons and sweet peas are especially lovely this year.

    Thanks for an X-cellent link to Alphabe-Thursday's letter X!

    A+

  31. It's strange that the sound for X can be Z . why don't they just spell it like zerogardening lol Anyway I don't know what that is unfortunately . I've never had a garden :(

  32. As odd as it sounds, after all the rain we have every winter, in summer we need to practice xerogardening here.

  33. How interesting! I never even knew a word like that existed :) Thanks for the lovely images of spring. Still waiting for the cold to go away and spring to start!
