Man, this thread is great. I'd been wondering about how different gardening will be if I end up moving to central TX (especially with the difference in annual rainfall, soil acidity, etc). I see a lot of familiar plants in this thread.

On the oleanders, you can buy "hardy" varieties (especially from mail-order nurseries) that are more cold-tolerant than most of the "regular" ones. They look just the same. One of my neighbors over here has had one for at least 20 years, and it gets little or no damage most winters. I know it has taken single digits before without any protection.
