Gardeners, can I start growing anything in South Texas right now?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:There are plenty of cold hearty things you can consider like show peas, cabbages, brocholli, etc… However, you must understand that it will probably freeze before these are mature so you will need to be prepared to put them under a “hoop house” to protect them. That being said, the “spring” growing season around here starts pretty darned early. I usually start planting onions in February, which isn’t all that far away.
