You need to get a copy of the _Houston Garden Book_ (ISBN#0-940672-55-3).
I think it is published by the River Oaks Garden Club. Also check with the
Harris County extension service to find out about planting schedules and

The extension service is excellant advice for anywhere you live. Those
agencies are very good and know the local "rules" for planting. They
typically will do soil analysis/recommendations for a very modest fee.
