Texas Panhandle
Amarillo
The northern Panhandle begins its fall garden while much of Texas is still in summer mode. In the source calendar, warm-season transplants go out in June and leafy crops follow later.
West Texas
Lubbock · El Paso
The source groups a broad western swath of Texas into Region II. Its calendar sits between the Panhandle and the central region, with midsummer starts for many fall vegetables.
Central & East Texas
Austin · Dallas · Waco · Houston · San Antonio · College Station
Austin, Dallas, Waco and Houston appear within Region III on the historical source map. That grouping is a broad planning reference, not a claim that these cities share identical weather.
Coastal South Texas
Corpus Christi · Laredo
The southern coastal band around Corpus Christi and Laredo is Region IV in this guide. Several cool-season planting dates run into November and December.
Rio Grande Valley
McAllen
The far southern tip of Texas, including McAllen on the source map, is Region V. This is the latest fall schedule in the five-region guide, with some sowings extending to mid-December.
