Pinging the list.
Friday already! So the rain and the cold came in to central Texas which really didn’t matter because all that was in my garden was some tomato stems, a couple of half dead squash plants and a deal eggplant plant.
I go outside the other day to play with the pooch and looking into my garden I see 4 tomato plants, each one almost knee high. The eggplant is growing and in my other 4x4 melon plants have appeared. Given, no fruit will grow and they will eventually die, was just interesting to see.
Best wishes and health to all. Enjoy a great weekend.

Leaves are falling, so I will be tilling them into the garden plot soon.
My Big Question is about pine needles.
I have a large pine tree out back that drops a prodigious amount of needles each year.
They are nice and brown and cover the ground to the point of killing the grass.
I usually rake them up and dispose of them.
Would it be okay to add them to the garden along with the pecan leaves or do they need to be left out longer?
I had also thought about leaving them in a pile until next year and using them between rows in the garden to keep down grass and weed growth.
Hoping to find a used bagger for the mower so I can use grass clippings as well.
Any information and ideas are gratefully appreciated.
