Gardening in Texas, is unlike any other place I’ve ever lived. There are two growing seasons; fall and spring. You can even garden in winter.  Because of this, the information on most seed packets  is incorrect. Instead, it helps to have a calendar specifically for your particular area in Texas.The Travis County Extension Service offers this handy garden planting calendar.  You can also find this at:
