    Hello to all of the green thumbs! I live in Houston, but am originally from Ohio, and have attempted to garden several times, most of which were failed attempts. Are there any helpful tips for planting/ maintaining/identifying Texas native plants?

    Hi and welcome! I recently moved to Texas, too. I have expert advice from across the road though. I moved across the road from Glendann. She's always lived here and should know what will grow. As an "old" gardener though I'll probably try a little of everything. dooley
