:lol: remember you're talking to a city boy returned to the country. Those trees are the wooden kind.:lol:

Well, it's raining and cold (by MY standards. 39f. Sorry bout that to you folks up to your bellybutton in snow). So, I might as well put the next chapter in here now. With the plot chosen, the prep work begins. No matter WHAT style I chose, first those saplings had to go. So, chainsaw time...

Course I don't know how old you are (and a gentleman never asks) but keep in mind that President Harry Truman could have kissed ME as a baby! :thumbsup And all I've GOT is time. All the time left in my world. I don't rush anything any more. That's just rushing til I DON'T have time. I used to...

I'm in Laurens county, about half way between Saluda & Ftn Inn and this IS my hometown. But the vast majority of my adulthood was in Columbia, where it's so sandy you could hear the water whistle as it ran through the ground.

See? See? SEE! I havent even cracked my seed coating yet. And you're already rushing me! :lol: I bet when you plant corn, you're out there next morning, looking for sprouts! I just started in "me and my garden". All my stumbles and fumbles will be documented there. So, join me if you dare. I...

Thanks. Actually "about me and my garden" looks like where I'm looking for. Don't know why I didn't find that on my own, but thank you.

I came here at the urging of friends at BackYardHerds. I am 1 year retired, and 1 yr back in the country. Although I grew up rural, I never really experienced "country" living. I am in the piedmont area of South Carolina, relatively mild climate, and rather hilly terrain. I am worse than a...
