Relax,

Some of these people get all bent out of shape about nothing. I live in
Austin your neighbor to the North. Most serious gardeners in this area plan
on having at lease 3 if not 4 gardens. I have a garden for each of the 4
seasons and so can you. Once plants become tired or diseased you replace
them with new ones that will be complemented by the expected weather. Since
you live in San Antonio, you will have only a few really cold days. Buy a
gardening book about Texas gardening and I'm sure you will find out all you
need to know. Gardening is not ROCKET SCIENCE. Don't be afraid to experiment
and fail. Even the most experienced gardeners sometimes don't do the right
thing.

Have Fun
Jim

Is there a garden club or horticultural society in San Antonio? What
about the Texas State Agriculture Department? Both are good sources for
the information you seek. If you join the club, you'll also make good
friends. Your local library will also have useful books - just ask.
Librarians may not know the answers, but they are very good at helping
you find them. (Plug - my niece is a librarian in Midland MI).

San Antonio has garden clubs up the wazoo & the point of first contact
would be the San Antonio Botanical Garden and the adjacent San Antonia
Garden Center.
