North Texas Climate

As of September 6, 2023, it is almost a certainty that North Texas will slide into the #4 spot of record hot/dry summers, if we remain in triple digits for a couple more days.

I wanted to share this presentation regarding our NTX weather and climate that was given to our Tarrant County Master Gardener group in August of 2021 by Ted Ryan with the National Weather Service in Fort Worth, TX.     I hope you find it as interesting as I did.

Blooms & Beyond: Year-Round Color for Your Garden

Wondering how to have year-round color in your garden?   I recently gave a presentation to the Grapevine Garden Club on this topic and the video was posted to YouTube.   Click HERE to check it out!

The plants mentioned in this talk are geared toward the Dallas/Fort Worth area in hardiness Zone 7/8, but if you live in other parts of the country, maybe it will inspire you to think through the seasons and how you can add color to your garden with plants that are hardy in your area.    Click HERE to see the plant list.

Below I've listed the garden centers and resources I mentioned in the presentation.

Here's to hoping you have something colorful in your garden all year long!
