“I have .29 acres and am planting ALL of my backyard with vegetables this year....”

Excellent! Keep us apprised as you move forward with this.

When we moved to Tennessee, I found out I don’t actually have a brown thumb. Things actually grow quite easily here! So I’ve really enjoyed learning about gardening, pests, fertilizing, weather, harvesting crops, and keeping them away from predators. The first year deer ate the corn. The second-year crows. This year coyotes of all things. They loved it apparently. They would take down a whole stalk and carry it off into the forest and eat every little kernel.

things are easy to grow in the east....or mid east....its the humid air and plentiful rain and good soil...I miss that......in the west we fight the dry air, the deer, the sandy soil....
