gardening help
I've been living in an apartment for more than six years now and the
most grdening I've done is some fresh herbs and a couple of Chilli plants. In March we will be moving to our new home which I made sure was built around a very good size piece of land that will provide me and my wife with lots of gardening space. I want to plant several fruit trees (Figs defenitly, maybe a pomegranate) and sesonal vegetables. My questions is: Is there a good comprehensive source (preferably online) in which I can learn what to plant when (sessonal vegetables)? your help is appreciated Thanks E. Nassar PS: I live in Houston, TX. So frost and lack of sunlight is not usually a problem. |

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 fruit tree varieties. It usually works best to plant bare-root fruit and nut trees in the early winter or late fall. Since the ground never freezes, you can probably plant them now if it's not too wet, but I don't remember. BTW, some summer crops go in the ground in February down there, like english peas, spinach, and potatoes. Online reference material should be available at Texas A&M.

Those agencies are very good and know the local "rules" for planting. They typically will do soil analysis/recommendations for a very modest fee. -- Steve |
