About Me

I am a happily married gardener in Clear Lake, Texas -- Zone 9b.

My name is Martha, and I started blogging on March 13, 2009, in the HoustonGrows section of the Houston Chronicle's Web site.

My original one was:

I later moved to http://www.chron.com/channel/houstongardening/commons/gulfcoastgreenie.html

But I'm currently only posting on this typpad blog.

The title Gulf Coast Greenie refers to my newness as a gardener and my desire to live and garden responsibly.

Last summer I began training to become a master gardener volunteer.
