Is there a somewhat permanent solution to these weeds on the side of my house?

These weeds keep coming back. Our home is 6 years old and there’s a weed barrier and river rocks but these weeds keep growing through it all. Any ideas? Home is in north central Austin (Crestview) if that matters. Thank you!

Any hummingbirds left?

Lakeway area. I saw a few stragglers this week but are they gone? Trying to decide when to take down my feeders. Pic is of a little plump one during the rain last week.

How to recover my Roses!?

​

Central Texas here. Had these roses for 8yrs and usually stayed healthy green and bloomed almost every other month. Now this year after August leaves try to grow but then turn brown. I tried neem oil and 7powder to no improvement. Debating if just prune them down to a foot, give fertilizer and cross fingers!? Any advice please?

Basil bush - can it be saved?

Is there any way this glorious basil bush can be kept through the winter or should I prepare myself for its eventual demise?

Wintering a plumeria

I have a 4 year old plumeria in a pot and I’ve always just brought it inside during the winter and had a grow light on it. Apparently I’m supposed to winter it instead, so I’ll be trying that this year. Have you found the garage to be an ok temp? What about when we have the crazy freezes? Should I bring it inside for those? I heard about putting it in a dark closet but it seems like that would be too warm (house is generally kept 75-77).

Any type of advice, big or small would be fantastic. It’s one of those sentimental type plants so I’d hate for something to happen to it while trying something new.

Thank you!

Bird of Paradise and Winter ?

Last winter I brought it inside during the freeze but it brought in a ton of unwelcome guests with it.

Now, this past month i’ve been fighting off an ant colony that made its home in the pot and I really don’t want to bring it inside again if I don’t have to.

Can they survive outside if they are potted?

not very familiar with this type of plant 🪴
