Central Texas (a part of which is the Texas Hill Country), is a region (and a physiographic section within the Great Plains province, as it pertains to geography) in the U.S. state of Texas. It is roughly bordered by San Marcos over to Fredericksburg up to Waco, and back down to Brenham, and includes the Austin–Round Rock, Killeen-Temple-Fort Hood, Bryan-College Station, and Waco metropolitan areas. The Austin–Round Rock and Killeen-Temple-Fort Hood areas are among the fastest-growing metropolitan areas in the state. The United States Army's Fort Hood is the largest military installation in the nation. Some of the favorite local cuisines are barbecue and a variation on traditional Mexican food affectionately referred to as Tex-Mex.

What vegetables are good for a container garden on my south facing balcony in central Texas?
Q. I know tomatoes will probably do well but what else?
Asked by Sam - Tue Jan 12 04:00:34 2010 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. I live in Dallas and in the summer, a south facing balcony with no shade will most likely be too hot for container plants. But till it gets super hot in July, as you said small fruit varieties of tomatoes (Sun Gold does excellent in our weather, and they are delicious, tho it's a huge plant, one per large pot), eggplant, and peppers will do well. As it gets very hot, try to shade them after 2 or 3 pm and water as soon as they get dry. Tomatoes usually don't grow here after late June (it's too hot and they die off) so plant them as soon as your weather permits, but the eggplant and peppers can go all summer. Yellow squash does well also, but it gets huge, so plant just one to a container. There is an excellent variety of Yellow Squash… [cont.]

I need a water plant to provide shade in a shallow tank of 6 1/2" dept. I'm in central Texas?
Q. I'm in central Texas (San Antonio). The area is half day sun.

A. Hardy Water Lilies (Nymphaea), there are several dwarf varieties that would work well. Parrot's Feather (Myriophyllum aquatica), fast growing Azolla (Azolla caroliniana), good fish food and good shade These are a few of the plants you might want to try in your tank. I know that several of the more common water plants are restricted in Texas. As far as I know, these are allowed and would thrive in central Texas.
