Best time to grow determinate canners and pastes in Texas

ABlindHog · November 20, 2015

I am planning to grow a few varieties of determinates ( Chico III or Chico Grande, Plainsman, and EM Champion ) for canning and making Chili Sauce next year, and am trying to decide whether to plant them in the Spring or Fall season. each season is about the same length and is too hot at one end and too cold at the other. Input from growers in similar areas as to wich season works best for these types or suggestions for additional varieties would be helpful.
