Mini Casa made this casa to celebrate Austin Organic Gardeners. Austin Organic Gardeners didn't make it and isn't affiliated with Mini Casa.
The blog of Austin Organic Gardeners, a Texas group that posts planting advice based on the lunar calendar. Useful for gardeners in central Texas.
Local planting advice for central Texas organic gardeners.
The blog's main format is a recurring What to Plant Now post. Each one ties planting advice to the moon phase, and the current one picks warm-season greens and herbs that tolerate heat.

Visit linkThe group says it has shared organic growing advice since 1945 and that it is the oldest continuously running organic gardening club in the US. The blog plans planting around the lunar calendar, so each post is tied to a moon phase and a short window of weeks in Central Texas. Members get a volunteer calendar for work in the group's own garden, member discounts and a farmers' market guide. The Gardening Styles and Methods section sets out organic approaches to growing vegetables and ornamentals without harsh fertilizers or toxic pesticides.
