Garden Planting Guide - RGV - Deep South Texas

- Опубліковано 8 жов 2021
- Gardening in the Texas Rio Grande Valley can be a challenge. I have a play list named Let's Plant that shows how I plant various garden plants, but the videos in that play list usually only covers one vegetable. This video provides a guide as to when I plant most of the items I grow in Deep South Texas. There is a written list below in the description. I hope you can copy it and print it out if you need it.

Awesome thank you so much !
I hope it helps! 🤠
Thanks for the information. Here in Corpus Christi, I believe I can follow this plan. I am trying garlic again as I had the same problem. I have stalks about 10" now. As another person on here said, I put them in the fridge for three months then planted them in November. All in ten-gallon containers. This year I am trying just reg organic garlic from a health food store. All but two sprouted and look great. Have a great season.
Maybe you can put this list in your next video for folks who may not have seen it. This list can be a game-changer for lots of folks. Thanks. Have a great night.
Just found your channel I'm in McAllen this is great information thank you!
Hi neighbor. Glad it was helpful! 🤠
Cool what have you started?
THANK YOUUUUU ! I'm moving from Puerto Rico to Waco Texas this week so I'm going to be watching this channel a lot!🙏🙏🙏🙏😊😊😊😊
Thank you DST! I'm a second year gardener in Pharr. I just planted a few days ago... too bad I didn't see this earlier! Tomatoes, beets, carrots, onions, bok choy, and zucchini. My pepper plants were still standing and healthy from last year and they're starting to flower. I'll see if I can get them produce for two years in a row.
Good luck! Let me know how the tomatoes do. 🤠
Thank you so much for the information, I'm your neighbor from Mission Tx, so I'm going to start today working for the season
Good luck!! 🤠
How did it go? I’m still learning
Nice to see you here! Native San Benito guy saying hi!
Hi neighbor! 🤠
You still growing?
Thanks for this list. I am new to South Texas (McAllen) and have a plot at the local community garden. Lots of challenges here but having success with greens, sweet corn, okra. This list will help tremendously. Will follow your guide for the spring crops. I do have garlic growing. It took a long time to come up but has some nice green stalks right now. I will keep you posted to see if I get any actual bulbs. Thanks again for this information and your channel. I enjoy it a lot! Please keep them coming.
Hi neighbor! Good luck with your garden. 🤠
Awesome how did it go? I’m still learning

Thank you for sharing.
This is SO helpful! Thank-you!!
WOW this helps me A LOT thanks for sharing the link! it is so hard to find stuff for zone 9b online you are the only source I have found! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! I have had a few unsuccessful gardening attempts here in the rgv and i think its tied to when I am trying to start seeds...this helps me a lot! I have only seen your description and that is what I am talking about but i will for sure watch this as well!
No doubt
Thank you for the information!
You are so welcome! 🤠
Fantastic- thanks Larry!!!
This was very helpful. I’m in Houston. I want to try growing my own veggies. Thank you
Add a couple weeks before starting tomatoes, and start cabbage and broccoli a couple weeks earlier. I am about a half a zone South of you. Good luck! 🤠
@@DeepSouthTexas will do. Thank you so much.
Thank you for the information
Happy to help. 🤠
I’m in Mission, I’ve got broccoli cauliflower cabbage beets bok choy carrots onions kale and some different lettuces. Planted all in around September 20.
Wow. Did you save room for tomatoes? 🤠
Thanks for the info. I just retired and am looking forward to improving my gardening skills.
Being retired does give me more free time to work in the garden. Good luck! 🤠
What a great video. Thanks for taking the time.
I am happy you found it useful!! 🤠
Oh! This is great!! Thank you!!!!🤠👍
I hope it helps. 🤠
good plan. I will be ready by October. Some things, like potatoes, I will put off a month. I'm in west central Florida, 10 minutes from the gulf. Last year a late 24° took my moringa down to the ground. But I have a huge mango in a pot that just got crispy. Bananas were ok too.
It seems to freeze here after a rain storm, so that's the main problem. If I could keep things dry during a freeze the ground keeps them warm enough to survive.
ps, I heard southeners are growing elephant garlic. haven't tried it yet.
I tried elephant garlic. It grew well, but I may have harvested it too soon. I was worried It would split. 🤠
Soft necks for us RGV residents and they need to be vernalized for 2-3 months. Then plant as usual you will get bulbs. That’s the secret no one wants to tell you.
Thanks for the tip! 🤠
This is so helpful thank you! I knew you were in the RGV when I heard some Kiskadees calling in the background of a garden video 😁 they are my favorite! It's so great to see you growing things I don't usually see other people growing here such as sweet potatoes and turmeric. Makes me excited at the possibilities! Also, thank you for creating that list and making it available to us!
P.s. don't give up with the garlic! I know you'll figure out a way to get it going here
I hope it is helpful. 🤠
I shall watch vicariously through your eyes, not gonna happen here lol oh yea, don't know if you've been told this, you are such a gentleman.
Thank you! 🤠
Im in laferia got squash radishes and beets coming up i am going to plant some more this week
Sounds good! 🤠
Wonderful information, thank you! Would you please consider adding the potential harvest dates for each crop?
Glad you enjoyed the video. It varies as when to harvest from year to year. Most you just look at and harvest. For root crops you just need to dig a little to see. Good luck! 🤠
Hi Larry, Zone 9 just South of Houston here. Thank you so much for sharing your planting schedule. I think I will be printing yours out to follow. For the garlic, I ordered some California White and Red Inchelium garlic to be delivered some time in October. I grew them before but they never formed cloves, they just looked like onions. Is that the trouble you've had? I read that they need cold to form the cloves. So I'm thinking once I get them, I will start them in November. I'll be growing them in buckets. We'll see what happens.
I have had that problem. The last batch did split into cloves, but the cloves separated from bulb way too early. I do not have it figured out yet. 🤠
Have you tried peanuts?
I have. They came out OK, but I think they need sandier soil than I have. 🤠
Any chance you can give us a tour of your garden(s)?
I have lots of garden tour videos uploaded. 🤠
Great video. How do you think this applies to the San Antonio area?
Add about 2 weeks for the spring plantings and subtract about 2 weeks for the fall plantings. 🤠
This planting wouldn't do me any good. I'm in Tulsa and we have 4 distinct seasons here, wish I could use it though.
Most will not be able to use it. Primarily for the RGV. I had been promising to do it, and it seemed like a good time. 🤠
What zone are you in?
Zone 9
