I've found the same happening in my mind too. Always looking at the place veggies or fruit is from in the grocery store, and if it's stuff that can be grown local but is out of season I generally avoid it, or if it's in season I'll get it from the f…

Hi Cielce Yes compost is the way. Get as much as you can, you can,t have too much. They do say that clay soils make the best soil in the end. Good Luck

My tentative plan so far is to apply composted manure and some compost and work it all in, most of my garden didn't produce as well as I liked. It was cool and rainy, but I also don't think my backyard soil is very rich in nutrients. I grew up gard…

Hi Cielce I know exactly what i need to do to get a better crop of sweet potatoes. I need to move my garden about a thousand miles further south. Even with the effects of global warming, its still a bit too cold to get a decent crop. Like you i also…

Hi Ciecle, the weather is a little cold still, so I am behind in the planting outside. I am creating a little greenhouse to to protect the plants a little bit.

You seem to be planting a lot. You garden looks great

Thanks, Cielce...it is going to be all right. The pollen is just another straw on the camel's back, so I'm trying to limit exposure today - pollen count is only 9oo's today. That's Atlanta! I drank a lot of real coffee and caught up on paper work. And naps.
Love your photos! you've got real peas and kohlrabi. Good luck with the garden this year, we're expanding too - same tomato overbought reason.

I tried to add a reply to two posts and got an "error on page" note !! But then it asked me to sign in again !! Would that be the reason my posts did not work ?? Sign in was negated ?? Or is it common to have to do this occassionally ??

Wow Sandra! You've asked for an awful lot of information! Start by checking for your "predicted" last frost date. There are frost charts online, but the quickest way for you, I think, is to call your county extension agent. He'll be listed in the ph…

Several people have experienced difficulty putting working links into comments and blogs etc and I know it is clumsy.... so here is how you do it.....

First type the text you want to appear....  ie  IAN'S PAGE

Then go back and highlight the link text.

Then hit the hyperlink button...a pictogram of a chain link.

Your browser may intervene and request permission to allow temporary scripting or some similar message.   Allow it and go back and highlight the text again
