I used to live in Texas, in Trophy Club, a bit north east of Fort
Worth. The best source of information I found was a book by Neil
Sperry just for Texas gardeners. It is true it is a real test to garden
in Texas, we moved there from California and I managed to kill many
plants before getting something to survive. Look around you to find
the tried and true ones other people have had success with. The book
on Texas gardening gives some real good advice, I think Neil still has a
call in radio show you might want to listen to and perhaps call in. Not
sure about the call in show we have been gone for 6 years but try and
find out. Hang in there it is a big adjustment to get used to the area
especially for you coming from Oregon. By the time we had to leave
Texas we were all very sad and had learned to love the state and area
more than we had ever imagined possible.
I had good luck with bulbs and I had the prettiest Crysthamum garden
ever.
Take care,
