Start the plants now indoors. Transplant after last frost(like march 1st in tx lol) straight into the ground. Prepare the soil now, like go dig it up and mix in all the good ammendments and fertilizer you plan on using. You can even mix some of that gel stuff that absorbs water that is designed to be mixed in soil to water house plants slowly to help keep some moisture since it doesn't rain a lot in tx. Post some pics. And most importantly, don't tell anyone where it is. :stoned:
