New Member, Old Gardener

Hi! Welcome, @freedhardwoods ! You must have a well stocked pantry, or do you market some of it? Wow, that would be a challenge to do a big garden just on the weekends, even with great equipment, kudos to you! So many 'kids' give up the family farm, congrats on hanging in there!

Welcome from NY. We just had a discussion not to long ago about leaving gladiolas in ground to overwinter.

Hi! Welcome! I think we have some other members here from southern Indiana, don't we?
What has done particularly well for you this year? Have you found it to be a good gardening year? Here I go with the questions.......

After a cold start everything has grown very well. The corn was probably the best. Lots more to add, but I'll put the details in the appropriate threads.

We don't sell yet, but may in the future. As far as taking care of things, I'm a workaholic. I think I forgot how to relax.

As far as the farm goes, here's a very condensed version. My sister and brother-in-law bought it, had several things go wrong, and had to sell it. I'm still living on the home place adjoining the farm. Wish I could go back and change some things.

WELCOME TO TEG!!

I plan on getting pics. I will be looking for "glad" threads soon to see how you and others take care of them. I have a plan to keep them from going down in our storms.

Do you have a link? We tried that for the first time last winter.
