Hi, I live in Sanantonio Texas. I have planted a garden for the first
time in my life. Everything seems to be growing well. My question is,
will my plants reproduce fruit/vegetables all summer into the fall, or
will some die and I will need to plant another crop in the late
summer. I have planted:

beans
peas
cucumbers
zucchini squash
tomatoes
corn on the cob
broccoli


Thanks,
Rodger

You live there and don't know how to write the name of your city
correctly?

Something smells fishy.

Nothing fishy. Just a serious question. I actually live in the greater
Northeast San Antonio. A small city called Schertz. Near Randolph Air
base.

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.

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

Randolph Air base.

They are all annuals and will all die in the fall. I can't think of any
perennial vegetables.

If you live in Schertz then you don't live in San Antonio.

I live in Shoreline and our southern city limit abuts Seattles northern
city limit but I don't live in greater North Seattle I live in
Shoreline.

since no one replied to you... assuming no disease (eg, the squash and
cukes may get borer, or mildew, or both), the broccoli and peas will
certainly stop in the summer. The corn is a one time thing. The beans,
it depends. string beans keep producing for a long time, but shelling
beans come all at once. indeterminate (tall) tomatoes should keep
producing, while determinate (bush) may come all at once. cukes and
squash should continue producing into the fall. At any rate expect some
slowdown, even for continuously producing crops, after the first two
months of harvest.

Schertz is considered to be part of the greater NE San Antonio
region. In fact, San Antonio ( down town River walk) is 15 miles from
my house.

Thanks for the tips. You have been very helpful. Much different that
little child molester who said I smell like fish. SOB should come to
Texas so we can teach him some civility. He is probably just a troll
anyway, looking for your boys on the net.

will my plants reproduce fruit/vegetables all summer into the fall, or
will some die and I will need to plant another crop in the late

beans

beans will bear well into summer ..keep picking the pods, they will
start thinning out mid Summer so a fall crop will be good to have
peas
peas do better in Spring

cucumbers
will produce into summer..may get a more bitter taste when real hot,
insect/disease may kill out plants into summer

zucchini squash
will produce when hot, but later in summer will fall victim to a couple
of pests

tomatoes
when it gets real hot they will not produce well..may have to baby them
through end of summer, but will start to produce again..better crop by
putting out new plants end of July

corn on the cob
make sure they are grouped tightly so that they will pollinate..will get
your best ears early summer

broccoli
I always thought of it as a cool weather crop..gotten best crops in
fall plantings

Thanks,
Rodger

if I may give you one more tip... broccoli and peas are winter
vegetables for San Antonio. They will take frost and keep on growing
when the weather is milder. They both suffer above 80F. In the summer,
it is best if you stick to heat tolerant veggies (okra and watermelon,
and cowpeas).
