The following crops are a few of the simplest to grow in Harlingen: 

  • Potatoes are low maintenance. You can buy seeds around February, but you can also use a piece of dried potato as a seed. Red-skinned potatoes thrive the best. 
  • Tomatoes are an ideal crop for Harlingen. Tomatoes flourish in the pleasant, warm weather South Texas offers year-round. The soil in Harlingen is so great that all kinds of tomatoes can be produced.
  • Eggplant is perfect for harvesting in warm temperatures. As long as it doesn’t frost, eggplants can grow during our winter season, too. 
  • Radishes grow well in warm climates and can sprout beautifully in our rich soil. 
  • Lettuce can survive temperatures as low as 32 degrees, making it a great crop to grow year-round. 
  • Carrots are an easy crop to grow year-round in South Texas. 
  • Okra is a heat-tolerant crop and produces quickly. 
  • Corn and peanuts can be easy to grow and possibly be profitable since the livestock industry uses these crops to feed the animals. 
  • Citrus is a staple crop in our region because of year-round growth, and can also produce a profit. 

The list of ideal crops to grow in Harlingen is nearly endless. Our not-so-cold winters play a part in possibly making it easy to grow a large variety of crops.
