Hi from North Texas !!!
Hi guys! I'm brand new to SFG, and it looks like I'm the only Texan here. Was wondering if I'll get topical info for my region/zone etc.... ? Just turned over my garden today and was very pleased to see that all my composting over the past year has paid off. I have earthworms !!! Big healthy worms, and the red clay is finally a thing of the past. I hope this will be a great growing year. Also, purchasing rain barrels to facilitate watering....

Re: Hi from North Texas
Hello Geno,
Welcome to the forum and yes there are quite a few gardeners from Texas who SFG and post on this site. I live just north of the DFW airport on the border of zone 7b/8a. I have about 250 sq ft of garden, about 225 of it in raised-bed SFG using Mels Mix as the planting medium. I garden all year round.
I believe the best way to start is to get a copy of the "All New Square Foot Gardening" book if you don't have it.
Another good source is - http://aggie-horticulture.tamu.edu/publications/veg_variety/ for specific vegetable varieties for your area. Texas A&M has a LOT of good information on their website if you poke around a little (about bugs, plants, planting zones, etc.).
Everyone here will be very happy to help, so ask as many questions as you can.
Good gardening,
Gloria

Re: Hi from North Texas !!!
Welcome from the great white north. We have differing climes so plant at different times, but doing an SFG is better anywhere.
