Hello from Alabama!

[Dirtmechanic]

I stumbled across the site googling after something and thought it would be fun to tag along with the crowd. The group seems to be a merry band of yellow submarine gardeners!

I keep a summer and winter garden, a fair sized yard with a lot of trees and compost. I spread manure compost, reapply compost and sometimes I apply compost on the compost.

Sounds like you like compost!
Welcome from north Idaho where we only have one garden season, but we cram all the gardening we can into it!

 

[Dirtmechanic]

I do believe I would find a use for a seed mat under my feet up there! Interior winters are so much colder than winters near water.

 

[thistlebloom]

Winters are useful, and I enjoy them.
I appreciate the change and the more relaxed schedule I have.

What are you growing right now?
We love pictures too by the way so don't be shy!

The garden has radish, beets, carrots, broccoli, chard, spinach and sugar snap snow peas. It grows 4x slower in the winter but we generally stay close enough to freezing to not have too much trouble. We might on Monday though, it is to hit 18f that evening. Coldest run of the year for us is the last half of January.

Hello from Eastern Iowa where the Mississippi River runs east to west! Looks like you will fit right in.

Welcome. Will enjoy seeing your success while we up north are still fighting snow. Just be kind on pix-we love pix.

Here is a pic then of my new compost spreader. It filters and leaves a fine layer. I love Black Kow manure compost but at 150 bucks a cubic yard it is economically important to spread it evenly, and suprisingly hard to do without either heavier equipment or lots of shoveling and raking.
