Blog Detail
East Side Patch
http://www.eastsidepatch.com/
A Central Texas Garden Blog.
Zone: 8b
Location: East Austin
The east-side-patch documents the development of a garden from a flat plane of bermuda grass to absolutely no bermuda grass at all.
The blog uses film and tv references to comically push the journey along. The "ESP" tracks all the wild, weird and wonderful inhabitants that reside in an urban garden.
So grab your favorite libation, put your feet up, and I will see you in the patch.
