Cool-Season Gardening in Central Texas

Cool-Season Gardening in Central Texas

Gardening in Central Texas is a big challenge. We have to deal with insect and disease problems, as well as growing seasons that can be too hot, too dry, or too wet. We also can have sudden, dramatic changes in the weather. One day it can be warm and sunny, only to drop in temperature to freezing within hours. Wind can also provide a challenge as it whips through our plants damaging young seedlings and even breaking off branches. <br />This book will show you how to overcome some of these challenges. We will look at ideas for growing vegetables and flowers in the cooler fall, winter, and spring months. We will explore varieties best suited to cool season growing, along with the best methods for a successful harvest of vegetables or flowers to enjoy.
