Byron,
    Texas is so lucky with the enormous amount of information and research that
goes on for ranchers, farmers and gardeners. It's all free. It is so easy to
get. The county agents will even come out and visit in person. We have internet
access, too. Our extension service is just as interested in the urban gardener
as it is in large commercial operations. They even have a web site just for
gardeners.
    Do you use information from a nearby state?
