Another lovely garden complete by the Braga Family.
Cover crop and green coming soon. 💚
Stay tuned. 🌱
-
Marigolds, rosemary, sativia, and hostas planted. Few bushes moved to the foreground to make space for it all and add layers.

We think some creaping thyme or horse w**d will make better greenery under the shade than grass.
What do you think?

The U.S. normally imports 1.2 to 1.5 million head of live cattle from Mexico each year to supply American feedlots. In 2025, that flow was cut off after the reemergence of New World screwworm — a deadly livestock parasite — near the Texas border. The screwworm can infest open wounds on livestock and wildlife, and an outbreak in U.S. herds would be catastrophic. USDA made the call to close the border to livestock imports, and it remains closed.

That closure removed a significant portion of the feeder cattle supply that American feedlots depend on, pushing prices for feeders even higher in an already tight market. Combined with the record-low domestic calf crop and drought conditions still affecting large parts of the Southern Plains, American beef production is being squeezed from multiple directions at once. The screwworm situation is a biosecurity issue first — but its impact on beef supply and rancher economics is very real and ongoing.

🌱One of the happiest sights for me is seeing nurseries and gardeners moving a bustling.🌱

Here is Doan's Nursey off of Beltline - two days in a row - loaded up with growers. 14 greenhouses and tons of fruit trees that do great in this area.
💚LOVE IT! 💚

Other notable mentions are:
🌱Chambers Nursery - around the corner from Doans.
🌱Irving Feed Store - other side of Shady Grove from Chambers.
🌱 Grand Prairie Feed Store - tons of seeds in tins for scooping and animals for sale.
🌱 Moon Nursery in Carrolton - pricey BUT mature trees and excellent varieties which they install, maintain, and guarantee.

Other friends and farmers markets can be found on our website. BragaFarmsDFW.com under the Braga Farms Friends page.

Check them all out as the seasons and year rolls past and enjoy what they all have to offer.
