Answer 2

Unfortunately, fall is a bad time to plant anything of much interest. And in Northern Texas, its very true. You live in either USDA zone 6 or 7 or even 8 if you live closer to Louisiana or Arkansas.

This time in the season you can plant mainly leafy vegetables, garlic, soybeans, certain types of zucchini and broccoli. What I would recommend you do is to pay a visit to your local nursery, home depot or lowes, etc.... Go to to the stand where they have the vegetable seed packets. The growing season based on your locale will be stated on the back, basically telling you when is the best time of year to plant the seeds for where you live.

I live in So. Cal, so our fall planting season is somewhat longer than other parts of the country. But generally speaking, most vegetables are typically planted in late winter or early spring. But again, this depends on your area.

Your best bet is still to go to the nursery and read the back of the seed packets. Trust me on this, been doing this for 3 years now with my wife, and my parents did it all my life growing up as a kid.
