How to Revise Your Out-of-Date Planting Schedule
Since 2012 I have been actively trying to explain to gardeners, farmers, landscapers, and garden centers in Southeast Texas the best way to adapt their local planting schedules to the increasingly warmer and more unstable weather patterns we are facing. The online and book literature is not of much help here, but surely there are researchers studying the general problem somewhere. The attached pdf explains the problem as of May 2023 and my best shot at explaining what to do anywhere in Southeast Texas. If you are not there, with a little work of your own, you may perhaps be able to use the ideas and create your own version.

Hello, Dr. Randall. Just a note to let you know that the American Community Gardening Association will be holding our annual conference in Houston this September, from the 27-30th. I very much admire what I see of your work, here. I found you while trying to write a press release about Janna Robertson. We are working closely with Urban Harvest, the organization you started (from a community garden, it seems!) Anyway, I invite you to present – the application is at http://www.communitygarden.org – and wonder if you might contact me for a couple questions. It turns out I’m doing similar work to yours here in Charlotte, NC, using a locally adapted version the the Landscape for Life curriculum from the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center (now moved to Colorado State, I think.) You can reach me at Don.boekelheide@communitygarden.org Thanks! Don (RPVC, Togo, Ag Ed. As it happens. Do you know Don and Teah Lambert in Dallas, also doing community garden work?
