N. Ga. here and its spring. Lots of blossoms and the trees are beginning to green up. Don't want to make you envious so I'll add that the night time temps are supposed to get down to the high 30's this weekend. Lots of frost blankets will have to be used and we just keep our fingers crossed for...

Thanks for the advice - a trench it is for the asparagus. Never thought about weed growth, I won't plant more than 10 ft so hope I can hand weed.

We had moles occasionally in our FL lawn (moved to the N GA mountains and no more grass - Hurrah!). DH hated the mole tunnels and tried a number of devices. The most success he had was with a battery powered spike that made a sonic beep which we could just barely hear. I think it took about a...

We just have 3 raised beds that are 4'x8' each. Our red Ga clay is too tough to try to grow in so we hauled in topsoil and supplemented with compost. We also have a young blueberry patch, several raspberry bushes and a peach and a cheery tree. Have only been here 1 1/2 yrs so our garden will...

Anyone have tips on growing asparagus? This will be my first attempt. The instructions on the bag I got at TSC said to plant the roots in a trench. I always thought asparagus was planted in mounds. Suggestions on soil? We have red GA clay which we always supplement when planting anything to make...

Thanks aee96, I'll try some citrus fertilizer as suggested. I don't know if I'm watering too much or too little. The blossoms and small fruit fall off before getting big enough to harvest. The trees are in the basement now under grow lights because its still too cold outside in N. Ga. Both trees...

This week I started: Inside in peat pots. Beefsteak tomatoes Big Boy Tomatoes Outside in the raised bed for the chickens: Kale Spinach Mustard Greens Today, since its really raining outside DH and I will start in peat pots: more tomatoes, pumpkins, watermelons, and herbs - parsley and basil...

Please send them to me! My chickens LOVE them. Really, I'm going to grow some for the chickens this spring if I can find some seeds. One woman's flower is another woman's weed. When I was a kid in Pa. my father constantly battled dandilions in our lawn. My siblings and I had chores and one was...

Thanks digginfox, if you get a chance, please ask her if she fertilizes and how often she waters.

Has anyone had luck getting lemons and limes from these dwarf trees? Mine are in clay pots, outside in the warm seasons and inside under grow lights in the winter. The trees have always bloomed very well but have blossoms and small fruit drop before any fruit ripens. The trees are about 2 1/2...

Another BYC migrant! North GA here, zone 7. We just moved 1 1/2 yrs ago to a new cabin so are just getting started in this clay soil. We have one raised bed which we had great luck with last summer. DH wil build 2 more beds soon. I've got a great compost heap going - my first one - and I,m...
