Excellent sources for horticultural information of any sort include books, internet research and personal advice from experienced and knowledgeable gardeners.  Other helpful references include maps of climate zones, rainfall, soil composition and information you can receive from your local Extension Office or Master Gardener organization.  We have provided separate pages with Recommended Books, Climate Zone information, and Links to other sites that are educational and non-commercial in nature, to help you find additional information.   If researching a specific plant in doing internet research, always use the botanical name as a first resort, and common name only when that is the only known reference.  

Be weary of the sources of information on the internet.  Remember, anyone can post information whether right or wrong, opinion or based on research.  Go only to trusted source sites and keep them bookmarked for future reference.  We always try to find two or more sources for information we seek to make sure there is consensus or agreement on the facts provided.

THANK YOU FOR USING "SOUTHEAST TEXAS GARDENING" AS YOUR REFERENCE SOURCE FOR HELPFUL GARDENING INFORMATION.  WE DO EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO ENSURE INFORMATION WE PROVIDE IS AS RELIABLE AS POSSIBLE.
