Home Gardening in Texas

Dallas County gardens flourish in full sun (6–8 hours), with good drainage and following seasonal planting guides. Spring and fall are the best times for growth, while summer gardens often benefit from shade and consistent watering. For those new to gardening, starting small with container gardening, raised beds, or grow bags can be very effective in North Texas.

No yard? No problem. Many vegetables thrive in container gardening, including tomatoes, peppers, herbs, greens, and strawberries, making it ideal for Dallas County gardens. Use lightweight containers with drainage holes and quality potting soil for the best results. Balcony gardeners should pay attention to sun exposure, wind protection, and regular watering, especially when following seasonal planting guides.
