I would guess that the west of Texas, bordering New Mexico, is much drier than the east. I know some of Texas had a terrible time with snow last winter.
I spent my youth watching too many cowboy movies.
James, do you get about the same rainfall as curent day Manchester?
Chelsea was amazing! I would like to go everyyear. The david austin roses are all growing huge. I have planted about 50 david austin roses and they do excellent here. Much larger than I expected I'm going to watch monty again on how to trim them. The fishing has been great this year. Caught my best crappie and best bass this year. Tried dahlias from seed.
@jamesholt Great to see an update on your beautiful garden. Chelsea is only a matter of a few weeks away. I think that some of the planting will be very different this year. Wild flowers/ charity gardens/ biodiversity/ mental well being/ growing food will all feature. I would contact David Austin regarding your roses, always good customer care.
I have worked as a Gardener for 24 years. My latest garden is a new build garden on heavy clay.
