Well folks my spring/summer garden is gone - hubby cleared the garden patch last weekend all the weeds and dried up plants. We want to plant a Fall Garden here in SE Texas. I need some suggestions on what I can grow down here.
My mom (who I consider one of the best gardeners to ever live) said that in mid-september would be a good time to start working the soil and planting when the moom is right.
Any suggestions, comments or ideas are greatly appreciated.

Fall Garden...

Hey Ticka, how are ya? Yep, my garden is now history so to speak. I have pulled up all of my dried up tomatoes, bush beans, cantaloupe and cucumbers. My okra are still going strong. I'd give them another 3 weeks. My freezer is filled up with okra. I'm gonna have to give a bunch of it aways no doubt. I'm ready for my fall garden.
I don't do all that much in the fall exept, mustard, turnip and collard greens. I'll probaby put in some broccoli and some spinach this year also since I extended my garden area a bit. Radishes sound good too. Here's a few more you can plant.
Cabbage
Lettuce
Peas
Brussel Sprouts
Carrots
Beets
Cauliflower
Celery
Kale
Onion
Parsley
Hope this helps!!

Goodness - I'm in zone 6 (I think) and my garden is far from done. Usually for fall I await my mums to bloom and see how many more weeks I can get out of my impatiens and roses before the first frost. What is your average high & low temperatures down there for the fall and winter? I can't imagine why you couldn't use impatiens, begonias and coleus (for shade) since they don't need to get large before they begin to bloom.

Isn't is strange to read of some of your gardens already finished!?!
One of the best thing about these forums is finding out just how different each of our growing zones are! Here in Michigan, tomatoes have only been ripening for a week or so! (Except for those wonderful hydroponic ones growing in one of the greenhouses at school!)......p

Our crepe myrtles are just now blooming, as well - I've got pink
and white ones blooming. I had to spray every other day for a
month to keep those pesky Japanese beetles off of them, but,
it looks like my labor has been rewarded!
The veg garden has gone to poop with the exception of okra
and October beans, btw.

I think my mama said we are in Zone 5. I also consider my mother to be one of the best! She has never been to school, but some people just have natural talent, and that is definitely the case here! I need to snap some shots of our backyard and put them on here! Our late summer flowers are still in bloom quite nicely, and our hostas on the sides of our steps are beginning to flower (all the other ones have already bloomed). I really don't know all that much about gardening, but I definitely appreciate the fact that my mom does! Our yard won a beautification award a few years back, and I love it! Oh, but I do know how to pull weeds, mom did teach me that!
