July 2026

The heat is on! We’re thankful for the abundant rain so far this year, but the temperatures are rising, so make sure you hydrate in the garden. Texas summers can wipe out your plants, but always remember that we have two growing seasons. In this issue, we have everything you need to know about tomatoes, including how to set yourself up for a healthy fall tomato garden. Our Plant(s) of the Month are crinums and spider lilies – two show-stoppers in any garden. Learn the ups and downs of nematodes, and if you have eggplants, you might check out our grilled eggplant recipe! Happy July!
