Will do. I only ping once a week on Friday afternoons, but we do keep the thread going during the week, and people check in as their schedule permits.
Today is Johnny’s second chemo. I’m waiting for an email from him when he gets home. It is 4:21 pm, central time here and so far, no email. Will report when I get one from him.
Hi all. I am new to the gardening world, although I have to say it is fast becoming an obsession. I’ve recently moved to NE Tennessee, where the rain and fertile soil actually helps to grow things! (I’m formerly from the S. CA desert).
I have 4 small garden areas that I’ve managed to over-pack with seedlings from a can of nonhybrid seeds (the can is 7 years old, so I wanted to see if the seeds would sprout. Which they did marvelously!).
My question is - my neighbors, who all are avid gardeners, don’t appear to have heard of nonhybrid seeds. What is the advantage of them, vs. buying plants at Walmart, a garden center, etc.? Is it that the mass-produced plants will not create seeds that will grow?
It would be most helpful if we could somehow post where we are from.
I am from SC (the Lowcountry) which is a world away from Missouri as far as weather and gardening. It would really help us novices to learn everything we can so that we can be a successful as some on this board.
