I’ve lived in N Central Texas my entire life. We have very hot summers and usually cold (rarely freezing) winters.
I’ve been around gardening most of my life. Both my maternal great-grandmother and paternal grandmother had beautiful gardens where they grew enough vegetables to last all year.
In 2010, I started a garden of my own and have been gardening consistently since. I have my “go-to” items that I plant every year, but I also like to try growing new plants I’ve never grown and trying different techniques. With the variety of techniques that I’ve tried, I’ve had my share of successes and failures.
Hopefully some of my experiences will help you.
Happy Gardening.
Allie
