Beware of Snakes in Your Garden

Beware of Snakes in Your Garden

About a month ago I was standing 5 ft. away from a curled up 6 ft. Western Diamond-backed Rattlesnake ...when I was watering my 3 raised beds. It had eaten a rat and was just laying against one of the beds.

The next week my neighbor saw the same type of snake in her yard.

This snake was in the top 10 most poisonous snake in the world and it's in my backyard in Austin, TX.

What can kill snakes besides Dr. T's Snake-A-Way?

Someone told me they don't like lavender. Is that true?

Do anyone know anything else you can kill snakes with besides Dr. T's Snake-A-Way?

Step 1 - Buy The Book:
The below book will lay out the foundation for this new national food project as it will teach each family, who is not familiar with growing their foods - how to start a home, school, or community garden, food co-op or food coalition so read the book today, available as an e-book and paperback book "Overcoming Food Deserts in Your Community: How To Start A Home, School or Community Garden, Food Co-op or Food Coalition."

Growing our own foods is new to me, but I am up for the challenge. No...the picture above is not my garden. However, it looks identical to our garden when I was growing up. My garden so far - is the picture below, or that's how it initially looked when my mate and I got started with it.
Being raised on a farm, this is my first garden as an adult. At 60 years old, many people would probably be too embarrassed to admit that they are finally growing their first garden. However, it's especially Seniors today that need to start growing their own foods to make sure foods are safe to eat; to fight diseases; and to cut down on grocery bills, especially as they age.

Check out this picture from my first backyard raised bed garden. We found some plywood laying around and just put the garden together. The stick is propped under there until we ca…

Breathing Life Back Into My Garden for the Second Time This Growing Season

Breathing Life Back Into My Garden for the Second Time This Growing Season
Aug. 2, 2018
The thing about growing a crop – one minute your plants might be thriving and because of lack of water, too much rain, too many pests, etc., your crop can die off on you in a minute, especially if you don’t keep a watchful eye on it.
None of us can be with our crops 24/7, even though we would like to. Two weeks after celebrating my “One Year Gardening Journey” (https://conta.cc/2L64l5g) and three weeks after I successfully cleared a black fungus from my garden that I probably got from buying a batch of infected compost tea at a gardening center, by using a “Homemade Fungicide” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UITpPBdSDcY) -- my 3 raised beds has suffered yet another major dilemma.
I went out of town for 4 days to a family reunion and came back to a garden that has almost dried up and stop producing. My cherry tomatoes have stopped producing.
The 4 rows of Swiss Chard were turning yellow instead of gr…
