Hello! My name is Scott and I garden in my coastal Texas suburban backyard. It is a fairly tiny garden and features a micro-orchard and micr-vineyard, but there is much to do and share. I'm in Zone 9a so it's easy to garden all year long. I want to provide basic how-to videos for new gardeners, as well as more detailed investigations of methods and techniques, experiments and trials that are aimed at helping the established gardening community in whatever way I can. All of this, of course, while I continue to learn and share my mistakes. It's a wonderful world in the garden, and I hope you will enjoy my little patch of peace.
