Wow. Planting things close together in the sun really makes a lot more sense too. Shade. What a concept!

It's not easy in Texas!
I have been able to grow most of the vegetables and herbs I did in Louisiana. The only way I have been able to do so in Texas has been to grow them biointensively, like Ecology Action in California does. The plants are spaced closely to create a microclimate around each one. The conserve water and create shade to cool the soil. Look those people up on the Internet. They are wonderful and can really help.

I really enjoyed growing a garden when I spent several years in South Dakota. There, it doesn't dry up in the sun and everything grew so well. My neighbor was a farmer's wife, and she came over to show me how to plant things and such. I'm in Texas again (a Native) and it's so hot in the summer, I don't know if I'll achieve the vegetable garden. I'm still working on my flower garden, which didn't get a good start, since I'm an amateur. What do you do to grow things in this heat?
