Hi,

Can anyone tell me a good time to start planting asian vegetables in TEXAS? Last year, because of the extreme rainfall we had, I started all my gourds in Pots around July and did manage to get good crop.

This year, i made raised bed and planted all the gourds in March. And because of the late freeze we had till april, most of them came up very late like after a month or so.

I lost the Bottle Gourd, Snake Gourd seeds because of this.

So, far i am having luck with only my okra which will giving good yield.

The plants are all nice(Ridge Gourd, Bell Pepper is still coming up, green beans show no sign of growth). I don't want to take them out of bed completely.I see all nice flowers on the plants except that i don't see any changing to vegetables. I am now regretting if i should have planted them in pots rather than in the bed.

I see lot of posts about spring planting which will end the crop by July and then fall planting which will end the crop by October/November.

Thanks

Pavani
