Kemberly,
I think the heat definitely has something to do with it. I remember my
brief sojourn in Texas! Plants are going to respond to your cooler fall
days and revive themselves where mine will have exhausted themselves and be
ready for winter sleep.
Interesting that you fertilize in fall - something we don't do in my area
since it promotes growth that will simply be mowed down by frost....find it
most interesting the different gardening practices from different
climates..
