We had to remove a large tree last year and, for the first time in
many years, we have a spot (10x15') with good sun. We had an excellent
spring garden -- cherry tomatoes, peppers, basil, parsley, etc. Very
successful.
I have good experience with summer veg gardens in other parts of the
country, but have yet to adapt to this "2-season" business. As
expected, the tomatoes are on their way out and we're looking to plant
a fall garden. Any suggestions about what works well? More
specifically, any suggestions about what *doesn't* work well? As in,
things that like heat at the end. I've taken cuttings of the tomatoes,
so we'll probably go for a second crop of those.
Also, should I be replanting asap, or should I wait a few weeks to get
over the summer heat hump?

Hey, Doug. A good place to start for info like that is the Travis
County Extension Office. Their planting calendar is he

Personally, my tomatoes are shaded right now, and when the weather cools
off a little, I expect 'em to start putting out again. If you can baby
them through the hot part, they might surprise you.
Good luck!
