Honey, the only thing that grows in Houston is mold. And azaleas in the spring time. We don't have raspberries, or really any kind of berries that I know of. No lilacs. No lily of the valley. No forsythia. No maples. No autumn colors. Well some very muted colors only. No blue spruce (which I absolutely adore). No sweet corn.
The temperature only hit freezing twice in the middle of the night this last winter. If you don't get your tomato plants started absolutely no later than the beginning of April, it is too warm at night to set the fruit on the blossoms. And usually you can put them out in February.
Can you tell I hate Houston! I want 4 seasons. I WANT RASPBERRIES! AND SWEET CORN!
