Nick Garbarino wrote: One other thought about central Texas, unfortunately the climate models predict it will become more arid as the planet warms. However, there are nice food forests even in arid parts of New Mexico so, if you can apply some water, it will still be doable even in the dry future. Even if you can't apply extra water, you should still be able to achieve some success by carefully mimicing nature's ways in your area. Best of luck and please keep us updated on your progress.
