Default New garden

For most general vegetable gardening, get beyond the last frost and haul in
the veggies before the worst of heat gets here. Tomatoes, okra, and
jalopenoes will be okay to continue.

Grow some heat tolerant flowers to attract the bees/butterflies/whatever to
pollenate your veggie flowers.

Few posts, yep. Followed this group for over 3 months. Don't understand it
myself. I'm in Wimberley, TX. Half the folks in the area are Houston
retired folks.

Most of the native fauna is flowering right now. Getting ready for the
summer dormancy period due to heat and lack of precipitation..

Well, I am getting my vegetable garden just about in. I will be setting
my bell peppers out this weekend. Convinced that morning temps will not
fall to below 50 degrees. Don't want my peppers stunted at all. I have
cucumbers up and growing , got my pinto beans in and all of my tomatoes.
Just can't hardly wait for all the fresh abundance in about another month
or so. How are the rest of you progressing? This is the best time of year
for gardening , but so few posts. Just wondering.

Cheers
