Texas fall planting reference.

These five Texas dates are historical average fall starts, not deadlines. Open a regional guide for the source and timing details.

PLANNING A TEXAS FALL CROP

A few things to keep in mind.

Label the row and check seedling spacing as plants emerge. Follow the packet for thinning, and avoid treating a dense clump of seedlings as a finished stand.

Use the calendar to reserve a sowing session. The reference date is a planning anchor; it does not predict when your particular variety will be ready.
