Howdy mindcrimey,

I live in Texas and I'm wondering where yer at,because there's alot of different terrain and climates in Texas. Here in North Central Texas,one can expect to have problems with grasshoppers and deer. You may want to pre-treat the area where you plan to grow,with an application of neem oil,it will disrupt the life cycle of the grasshopper population. As for the the deer,you should either git a deer repellant..or simply piss in a big circle,around yer plants,the smell of human urine,will drive alot of animals away..you still may want to put up a camoflaged fence.

In South Texas,the humidity gits real high and you may have some problems with mold. Overall,however..I think that weed grows real well here ,outdoors,if you can keep the critters away. You may be interested in some organic,safe insect repellents,there's some recipes to make your own,at http://www.dirtdoctor.com/index.php , another link for ya, http://www.texasorganicgrowers.com/ ,hope these help..can't recall if there's any grow zone info-but you should look for it,for your area.

Have a good one...Torog
