Thanks for posting the Texas gardening info. I am trying to catch up on this thread and was going to ask if anyone knew about Texas gardening. My daughter moved there from up here in IL last Feb. She never got into the gardening much while she was here, but is interested in it now that they have their own place with a yard and trying to save $. I will pass that along to her. Also, just found a Texas gardening book at our library book sale that I will send her. Guess I will plan a visit down there too, to check it out myself.

Oh boy!!! Another Texas Gardener!!!

Here’s where a lot of us start with our peculiar information for Texas climates.

Either of those will be of help I think.

Not knowing where exactly your daughter moved I can’t recommend anything local, but Howard Garrett has a GREAT gardening show on the radio on Sunday mornings on 660 AM out of DFW. Very knowledgeable and practical. Also available is Texas Gardening Magazine which addresses various areas of Texas, might make a worthwhile gift someday.
