I would think as big an area with Austin and surrounding cities you could find buyers that would pick it up.Good luck!

I hope the cold is not going to get you Snuffy. I think you are too south. I think the north half of Texas is getting ready for a frost. No doubt the frost is hitting Atlanta Wed. morn and will be up at 4AM spraying water on the plants to protect them. Your garden is so far along. I have been buying water lilies out of College Station for years and am amazed at their early plants. Water lilies grow so well there that Texas tried to out law them. Your last frost date must be early March. Gonna be close,37 is the lowest forecast I have seen.But here in the country we are always a few degrees colder.Possible frost,my hoses are ready to spray them down,probably cover lots of it with plastic.I gamble with the early planting every year,most of the time win,but have lost some too! Good luck,this should be the last go round this spring. snuffy

I'm close to the borderline between 8 and 9. Zone 8 is what we go by.Zone 9 seems to limit a lot of what can be grown.

actually I think florida gets more citrus crop killing frosts than we do. And with the recent change in climate out here haven't seen a frost in a decade. Scott,curious how yall get enough chill hours on your fruit trees to get steady crops on them.What zone are you in? snuffy

I found out my pics turn out the best outside in shade if sunny,and preferably on a overcast day.I don't take any inside.Good luck everybody,I'll be watching.
My 2 cents worth
