About me

Introduction	Gardening on the Texas coastal bend involves sand, wind, humidity, and a little rain. Did I forget to mention dirt? No - I don't have any. Can you have a tropical paradise when you only have sand for soil? Yes, you can and it's not as hard as you might think.
Interests	Thanks for stopping by Sand for Soil, a blog about a garden in zone 9b on the coastal bend of Texas. I've been a gardening fanatic for 20 years and propagation is my favorite, whether its seeds, cuttings, or grafting. Lately, I've been on a tropical fruit kick trying my hand at mango, papaya, avocado, and coffee ~ all from seed. Since my new yard is a blank slate (or bare stretch of sand) I'll be transforming it into a lush garden for birds, butterflies, bees, and me. Enjoy!
