About This Blog

Welcome to Southern Post Journal (SouthernPost.net). I’m Jacqueline D’Elia and this blog chronicles my personal journey in gardening. I live in Houston Texas (Zone 9a) where heat and insects are especially challenging. I am an organic gardener, because I believe Mother Nature is our best teacher. (If you’ve seen the movie Mindwalk, you understand.) I love clays pots, fall weather and water lilies. Join me as I share my personal experience in converting my urban space into a livable and sustainable garden. I’ve built three raised beds and am grow veggies in my three season garden.

I do get paid a small fee if you purchase something through an affiliate link on my site. It is not much, but the spare change helps keep this blog running. A few are select products on Amazon.com like my Canon camera (I love this camera) and Thesis Theme for WordPress. Also, Genesis Framework with their amazing Child Themes, an even better choice for WordPress sites if you need a quick professional template that is easy to customize.

This blog runs on a self-hosted version of WordPress using the Thesis Theme created by Chris Pearson. Template (skin) design inspired by Pearsonified.com. Hosting of this site is now on Hostgator.com.
