I want to start my own garden in Southeast Texas and I am wondering what are the best vegetable and herb plants? Its hard to find a website with a defined region in the United States.
Also what type of shading the plant would require would be nice!

In the first link, a similar question (about growing veggies in Dallas) was asked in April.

Scroll down the page to a post by suze9 – she’s from S.E. Texas – She’s got more than one post that might offer some helpful insight.

The second link is to the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone map for zones 4b through 9b which includes Dallas, Austin, Houston and Brownsville, each of them somewhat different.

Other link goes to Gurney Seed and Nursery…menu on left of screen is for their veggie plants – above that is the link for their vegetable seeds. I didn’t go through each link for the zone info so you’ll have to do that yourself

Also, Betty’s Bloomers Nursery is in Silsbee, TX. In the article I read, it’s mentioned that the nursery is in S.E. Texas, so may be another resource for you! Phone: 409-385-4892 – email; kay@bettysbloomersn ursery.com.

Hope you find this helpful!
