I live 25 miles north of Houston and want to know if I’ve missed the planting season for flower beds. All the stores I’ve been to are slight on the bedding plants like begonias, impatiens, etc. I’m wondering if I missed them.

We just moved to the S. Dallas area, and I now have space for a great vegetable garden. Just wondering what I should plant. Ant suggestions would be great.

Looking for names of ground covers suitable for Lavaca Bay area (Alamo Beach), near Indianola. Subject to drought, freeze, wind and salt water from storms. Currently lawn is grass and weeds, and requires mowing. Ground is clay, currently with wide cracks from drought. Desire sustainable, no-mow, bird and insect attractive ground covers that thrive in (live despite) harsh bay side weather. Thanks in advance for your help.
