Redoing the Back Yard Flower Bed

 Ripped out the ratty, old nandinas and replaced with agave pots, Petite Knockout roses, and lantana.

Before...

After!

Before...

After!

The Century Plants (agave) in the pots are pups from an overgrown plant that originally came from my grandmother's garden.

I filled the pots with crushed cans before planting to reduce the weight and keep the roots from staying too wet.

Winter Storm Uri

So... this was insane! The winter storm that knocked out power to 14 million Texans (ERCOT failure) for days on end. We never lost power fortunately. Lubbock is not on ERCOT (yet!), although we're being moved onto it this summer. 

Not much snow, but it didn't get above freezing for 5 days and was in the single digits most of the time.
