Right, I've called my brother. He spent a year in prison in Jamaica a few years ago , and the prisoners grow a lot of their own veg ect as prison food is so bad it isn't worth bothering with ( we sent him loads of seeds and so on ) I figured that since Jamaica is pretty hot and so is Texas, you should be able to grow most of the same things as long as you water them well ( which is a given really )

He grew the following:

Tomatoes
Cucumbers
Peppers
Calalou
Onions
Sweetcorn
Yam
Cassava
Plantain
Okra
Carrots

Seeds for some of the more unusual veg can be found on ebay. You can even get purple carrots!!!!
