Colorful Geraniums

Geraniums are great plants to use in the ground, pots, or hanging containers. They do well in and around the Southwest; however, there are some things to consider before using them in your garden. Geraniums love full sun during the spring and fall seasons but not the full hot Southwest sun during mid-summer. It’s best to place them where they get afternoon shade.

Gardening Advice for Southwest New Mexico

The Southwest region typically has poor soil conditions. The air is dry, and moisture is low. It is a challenge for most folks to grow things, but with the right gardening information, you can grow just about anything here that grows elsewhere.

Texas Red Oak Trees

Texas Red Oak Tree information (Quercus buckleyi). A handsome, large tree for the Southwest and other parts of the West.

I love this tree for its hardiness and overall appearance. Many do not realize that red oak trees will do well in the American Southwest. Most folks think the extreme heat during mid-summer will make this tree a bad choice. It is native to south-central Texas but can be grown in many southwestern cities.
