The Raincatcher’s Garden and Plant Sale Reminder and Dallas County Master Gardener Garden Tour Information

April 17, 2026

Last week I met Cindy at the garden to deliver 2 Black Prince tomato transplants. Cindy and Roger were busy with a customer buying fresh compost from our garden. I wandered through our garden captivated by the moody sky and challenged by the productiveness of our garden efforts.

Peony style poppies everywhere. We have been growing this particular poppy at our gardens for almost 20 years.
Larkspur sprouting at my feet!

Wooly Mullein, is invasive to natural meadows and forests openings, we keep ours in check.

A very productive place planted with Potatoes, Spinach, Collards, Dinosaur Kale, Radishes (red and white)
Napa Cabbage, Broccoli, Peppers (several varieties),Turnips, Carrots, Tomatoes  and Beans.

Bluebonnets of course, and see below for information on planting bluebonnets. The yellow wildflower is Englemann’s Daisy. It is very authentic to see the pile of mulch in the background; a Raincatcher’s standard procedure.

Are you liking the vibe of our garden, do you long for yours to be productive and attractive to pollinators? Shop at the Raincatcher’s Plant Sale on May2nd, 2026.
