Books for Texas Gardeners

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

Bill,
Here are some local books to add to your reading list:

Organic Vegetable Gardening by J. Howard Garrett--even if you aren't
organic, I think it is one of the best vegetable gardening books.

Plants for Texas by J. Howard Garrett

Neil Sperry's Complete Guide to Texas Gardening

I have more references if you would like them.
