Vegetable Planting Schedules for Southeast Texas in a Time of Climate Change

May 1, 2023 – 12:39 pm

How to Revise Your Out-of-Date Planting Schedule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.
