I just moved to Texas from east-central Oregon a year ago. There's
much work to do to improve my soil and expand the vegetable area.
I also must learn the best varieties for this different climate. Last
summer it was already HOT in March and anything, except okra and
peppers, stopped producing when the heat of summer came on. A
few early tomatoes that I cut back managed to survive and re-grow
to produce a second crop in the fall. So, I've learned already and
have lots more to learn by experimentation.
