Follow Up - Melissa's Big Move - S. California to Ohio
Comments (0)I was just reading an old post from last March about Melissa's move to Ohio. I'd be interesed to know how things are going in the new rose garden department Melissa as you enter your first spring in zone 5.

Comments (16)Dora, Having grown up in UCLA(Upper Corner of Lower Alabama), I can tell you that most of the black walnuts you'll encounter there are not much to write home about. If you want a really good one for nut production, I'd recommend that you plant some good, grafted, named-variety BWs, like Thomas Myers, Daniels, or Emma Kay. See linked nursery below - your best source. Apples: Jennifer's recommendations follow those of the Extension service for low-chill selections - though I don't know how well C.Strawberry or Cinnamon Spice will do down there. MonArk is a great early-season apple that will do fantastic for you - good for eating out-of-hand, cooking, and unlike most early apples, it will keep for 6-8 weeks under refrigeration. Centennial apple-crab works well down there, and is primo quality. Callaway crab, an ornamental, is a favorite in my family for eating out-of-hand; guess it'd make good jelly, too - but we eat 'em as fast as they get ripe - it's a heavy producer of big clusters of 1-1.5" tasty little crabapples. There's a lady, Joyce Neighbors, in Lay Springs,AL, who has been collecting Old Southern Apples(as well as more contemporary varieties) for decades; she's scaling back on her operation(she's 80), but would still be a good source of real-world information, and she's still going to be grafting a few trees every year; could be your best source for apple trees.

Comments (1)First of all, I strongly suggest that you visit the Alabama Forum and get to know some of the good folks in there. You'll need to prepare yourself for the huge differences you'll discover about living in the deep South. Don't worry, once you get used to the fire ants and sand gnats, you'll love it! To answer your questions, organic gardening will be no more difficult for you in that location than anywhere else. Be sure to make a call or visit to your local extension office after you get settled (or as soon as you unpack). And yes, you will be planting very different types of plants...as well as leaving behind some of the things you are used to. As I used to say to a number of my clients when I lived in SC, "you ain't in Ohio anymore!" It seemed like most of Ohio had moved to coastal SC, lol. I'll look for you in the Alabama Forum. You'll soon be made to feel at home. You might even discover some new neighbors. Here is a link that might be useful: C'mon...let's visit the Alabama Forum!...See MoreBM is moving to Alabama.
Comments (7)Good she is moving away in the current state she is in, which is obviously not clean & sober. Bad to Mobile, AL. My son's in school & working down there. I hate to think of her on the same roads as my kid... Anyway, I really think it's for the best to have her far from the children. It would just be more heartache and confusion for them to have her around. Very sad....See Moreediej1209 AL Zn 7
