Tips for Texas Gardeners

Soil: Texas soil varies from clay to sandy. Add compost and organic matter for best results.

Water: Drought-tolerant plants recommended. Deep watering less frequently builds strong roots.

Heat: Provide afternoon shade for sensitive plants during peak summer heat.

Pests: Watch for fire ants, aphids, and grasshoppers. Use integrated pest management.
