I would make myself nuts each year trying to plant things during the Texas Summer.

No more...with one qualifier.

I will be putting in pumpkin seeds the first week in July. That will be it.

By then most if not all my tomatoes and eggplant should be done.

Come the fall, I put in garlic, lettuce, beets, potatoes and onions.

I'm now working with the seaons rather than against them.
