I'm in Louisiana, so it stays humid (not to mention HOT) nearly all year round. Not too sure if my climate is suitable enough or not, but there is nothing wrong with experimenting is there! Have a look at my list. I would like to try growing some pineapples :) I'm also interested in your great northerns & lima beans. Also your thyme, but that's not too very important.

I'm still looking for a few more things for my garden this year.. If you want to trade please email me and I'll send you an updated list of my haves.. I'm looking for -Calla Lily -Ipomoea nil -Hydranga -Bamboo -Gloriosa superba -Toad Lily or if you have something that flowers are black, red, orange, or yellow.. make me an offer i might not have them yet.. jen

I have updated my trade list and have a growing list of wants. I have a few more varieties of seed to offer, some unique and I am also offering a special christmas trade if you have anything on my wants list. Please visit my members page. Thanks for looking.

I make my stakes out of 2/4s 10ft long. Cut them to 5ft and rip them down on a table saw. 3/4 by 3/4 in Get 16 stakes out of each. They don't like a3lb mall but using a stake driver ( a 3ft long 3in pipe with a cap on one end] have never had a problem. Just select clear wood . Cheep stakes that are 5ft long and effective. I use strips of old sheets to tie up Better then string will no rub stems.Dont spend 2 bucks a plant just for stakes . I made half my stakes this year out of some 2/10s from behind the neighbors barn .
