Where in Texas do you live? We are moving to Houston soon. That and health issues destroyed my garden plan for this year. Hopefully, NW Houston wil be a good site to garden next year.
Bring lots of loose fitting, light weight clothes and a big straw hat. It’s hot and humid. Takes your breath away. I don’t know where you are coming from, but it took me 2 years to get used to the Houston weather, and even then I couldn’t be outside very long from May through September unless I was near a pool where I could jump in.
We live about 55 miles west of Austin - in the Hill Country.
The soil here is quite fertile, but low on organic matter. The main issue for all landowners in this area is water.
I used to live 50 miles northeast of Houston - back about 30 years ago.
I know there are a lot of successful gardeners in the NW Houston area.
