The best time for gardening in North Texas is from September until June. You can have fresh tomatoes from your garden for Christmas dinner! Dr. Larry Legg will present a scientific and observational approach for gardening during fall and winter. Larry is a biology professor, master gardener, master naturalist, master wellness volunteer and a conflict resolution specialist.  He is a country boy from the boondocks where if you did not have a successful garden, you went hungry.
