Vegetables and fruits like peppers, okra, onions, melons, and squash do very well in warm weather and others, like lettuce, cabbage, and kale, do well in cool weather. Therefore, there are gardening tasks to keep you busy all through the year in North Texas.
For example, you can plant seeds for broccoli, cauliflower, kale, lettuce, tomato and more indoors in January and transplant the seedling into the ground in March. During April and May, you can plant cantaloupe and watermelon seeds outdoors then harvest them later in the summer. Other seeds like squash, cucumber, and okra can be planted in late spring.
