Manolos mom - you need to plant NOW (I think), not sure where Wylie is, but April 15th is too late for most of Texas, certainly central and south.
I've already put in my tomatoes (of course, I'm protecting them this week from cold temps), squash, strawberries (I already have berries on the vines), peppers and herbs (I'm in central Texas)
The problem in central/south Texas is that it will be so hot by July that plants won't set on fruit/vegetables. So we have to plant very early, protect from cold and then harvest before the blistering heat of the summer.
The good thing is we can plant again in August (consistently water them WELL) and then by October it will have cooled enough so that the plants will produce crops in Oct/Nov. We are very lucky to have two growing seasons.
