Hi,I wanted to start a home garden right now. What crops could I plant? What herbs?thanks
Check the attached link from Texas A M. It is the best vegetable planting guide I have found for our state. It's got info on all seasons and zones.
I remember having to work in the family garden as a kid. Those stifling hot, humid, summer days. Yikes, I hated it too but I grow my own now. Not a big one, just a small strip on the side of the house for beans, herbs, tomatoes, cucumbers, flowers, etc. I put in some perennial herbs a few years ago and it's always nice to see them come back.
Root veggies will do nicely as we start to cool down. Turnips, Beets, Radishes, and Kohlrabi will do very well if sown now. We can finally plant spinach again, and it will grow throughout the winter. YAY!!! Lettuce, Broccoli, Cauliflower, Snow Peas. It's time to get these plants sown! I've seen Oregano and Parsley survive some pretty harsh winters. Rosemary is another hardy one to plant.
French Breakfast , White Icicle , Sparkler , Cherry Red Radish. They will mature in about 30 days if properly watered.
