Grow Your Own Vegetables

Bless all of our newcomers to North Texas.  You have probably learned by now that Texas weather is always changing.  We only had a few soft frosts in the Fall, 2021.  In the first weeks of January, we have had 2 hard freezes.  That’s why planting the right plants at the right time is a key to successful vegetable gardening.  Go to the SUCCESSFUL VEGETABLE GARDENING section for planting dates, recommended varieties and other helpful information.  

Congratulations to our Master Gardeners for the award winning EnviroSmart newsletter from the Texas Master Gardener Association.

Stop by 915 Whitmore Dr., Suite B and a Rockwall County Master Gardener will be on hand to research questions and provide gardening information. If you are not able to come by in person, call 972-204-7660 or email rockwallmg@ag.tamu.edu and a Master Gardener will respond to you in a timely manner. If the volunteers cannot answer your questions on the spot, they will continue to research or will consult with a specialist that has expertise in the subject matter.
