We are located in North Texas is it too late to replant entire garden?

I know nothing about your area,
but this logic works for everywhere
just figure out how long your growing season has left, (find out when your typical first frost date is)
then check what plants you plan on growing and how long they take to grow (usually listed as number of days on the seed packet)
and that should tell you if you should bother or not

Does it frost in Texas? That's a joke by the way.
Seed packets may have the info you need, time to maturity. Back up that amount of time and plant, dependent on your first expected frost.
The "Square Foot Garden" and the "All New Square Foot Garden" books have an easy to follow series of charts on the subject.

Mine has only been in for a few weeks, I can see it getting too hot for you for some of your plants to do well but I'd think you could easily replant. Tomatoes might have a harder time pollinating depending on your temperature but they'll kick back in when it cools off. My plants are still shivering and hoping it gets warm enough eventually to bloom!

I'm in Central Texas and lost my whole garden to the massive amounts of rain we had this spring. I refuse to give up. I have transplanted anything I thought might survive to containers and put in a raised bed for strawberries yesterday.

My in laws a bit east of you take a break in summer because the heat isn't good for most crops. You should be able to do a fall garden just fine.

We are located in North Texas is it too late to replant entire garden? I've lived there and I think you'll have to be pretty selective about putting in things that will stand the heat. Might be best to put in a few things and get ready for a fall garden. You can get a second crop of tomatoes if you plant in August and there are a whole lot of things that grow real well in the fall. |

Things that take summer heat. Rattlesnake beans, cowpeas, okra, eggplant (altho they stop setting fruit at 95*F) sweet potatoes (if ground too wet get 18 gallon tubs from the storage department at Kmart or Walmart, cut drainage holes 2 inches up the side, fill with garden/topsoil and plant) water celery, cannas, water chestnuts, wapato, loofa squash, Calabaza, Seminole pumpkin, callaloo, katuk, moringa and Chaya.
