Being in South Texas means that I can have a garden nearly 12 months of the year. Fresh fruits and vegetables are a wonderful addition to my holiday table, and I love bragging to my northern friends when I'm pulling tomatoes and peppers off my plants in January. :)
Today, as we're currently hovering around 98F w/ a heat index reaching up to 110F, I started my seeds inside. 4 different peppers, 2 different tomatoes, various herbs, lettuce, pole beans, watermelon and butternut squash were the seeds I started today. They won't go into the ground for about a month or 5 weeks, once the heat relaxes a bit so that my plants don't stress. Come October, I'll add even more!
I love that about Texas, especially South Texas. We rarely freeze, so I can grow my plants year round.
