By week 3 of June, Central Texas heat is here, so choose plants that can handle it.
This week, stick with okra, Southern peas, long beans, sweet potato slips, watermelon, and pumpkin. You can also plant heat-loving flowers and ornamentals like zinnias, celosia, portulaca, Pride of Barbados, cannas, caladiums, and ginger.
Avoid planting new trees, shrubs, ornamental grasses, and perennials unless absolutely necessary. Fall is usually a better time for those.
Water deeply, check containers daily, and keep feeding your soil with Goat Goodness.
