Merry Christmas to all,

It has always made me laugh to see folks from down there come up here and plant all of their stuff up on a mound.
I already know why but I ask them why they do it.
They say, "thats what we always do.
I tell them, "thats right down where you come from you have to because of all of the rain, we don't need it up here".
We need them to be level with the ground so the roots can get all of the moisture they can get in Central Texas.
That is if you are not growing in raised beds with a drip or soaker hose.
Sometimes folks just do things without even realizing why they do it.
