Vegetable Gardening:
This week, Texas gardeners should focus on preparing their vegetable patches for the upcoming fall season. It's an ideal time to plant cool-season vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, and kale. Ensure that you provide ample space between the plants for proper growth. Regularly check for any signs of pests or diseases and address them promptly.

Flower Gardening:
Flowers bring color and vibrancy to any garden. For those in Texas, consider adding chrysanthemums or asters to your flower beds. These blooms add a splash of color and attract beneficial insects. Remember to prune any dead or yellowing leaves to encourage healthier growth.

Astronomy:
The night skies of Texas are always a spectacle. This week, stargazers can look forward to the appearance of the Orionid meteor shower. While it peaks in October, early sightings can be observed. Additionally, the planet Venus will be prominently visible just after sunset, offering a brilliant sight.

The Old Farmer's Almanac is a treasure trove of diverse information, from gardening tips to astronomical events.
