I have 16 quarts of Dill pickles put up. Lots of yellow squash - I froze those.

I am not sure about my potatoes - never tried them before - the plants are starting to wilt so I thought I’d try digging with a pitch fork. Any tips on potatoes?

What can I plant now for a late summer crop? East TN zone 6.

I am a newbie at this - but when I get frustrated with politics I go out an garden. At least I can produce food for myself and family. Goats and chickens next!

Talk around the garden forums is that East Tennessee will be the next 'boom area' for small farmers and related farmer's markets...

I’m also in zone 6-over here in Nashville. Bush green beans have always been a success for me-I’ve planted them early and late-even as late as August and they did well. Just have to be faithful about giving them a little water in the morning and evening after you plant the seeds-keep the soil a little moist until they germinate. Good luck!

You and everyone else, I think.
