Thank you for this most excellent gardening thread!
Between this FR thread and a couple YouTube channels (praxxus55712 and voodoogarden) and all the catalogs I learned about here, it’s going to be a brilliant gardening year!
This Spring will bring a new vegetable garden to the new house. 12 raised beds - @ 500 sq ft. Fruit trees and chickens to follow in the Fall.
If anyone has any heirloom/old school vegetable seeds they are willing to share, I will send a SASE. (The only seeds I can offer in exchange are baby blue morning glory seeds - great way to hide an ugly chain link fence.)
It would be an honor to grow other people’s favorite plants here.
Here is Charleston, SC - zone 8b. We can grow just about anything here, with gardening being mostly weed and insect control, it seems.
Photos to follow as the garden progresses - primary day here today (I’d vote for mama grizz if she was on the ballot) - then back to putting in the raised beds.
Take care - have a blessed day!
I have some lettuce, pole beans, black eyed peas, and a couple types of okra seeds that I have been growing repeatedly (often unintentionally). Also a sweet onion which I haven’t tried yet, but the package says heirloom. Send me a mail with your address if you want to try any.
