We just moved here last fall - and have been busy putting in our gardens here. We're crossing our fingers that we can keep things alive during the heat of the summer.

Whatcha growing?

Anyone else here grow irises?
Q

My mother is a big iris fan, when she enlarged the area of her garden, making more room for irises, we drove up to Somis, and visited Greenwood. Coming home, our car, back seat full of blooming iris plants, had a fragrance I will never forget. Persian Berry has been one of the most successful for us. It continues to come up strong and bloom, and we do not have ideal conditions. You can look online at some of their offerings, but I really suggest a visit, it is a beautiful part of California.

Been to both, and been to VA Beach lots of times. For your needs, you don't want VA Beach--it's a prime hang out beach for college students. Not a lot of partying on the beach, but the main streets and some hotels can get raucus. Until we had kids, I greatly enjoyed VA Beach more than any of the others (Ocean City, Rehoboth, etc.). Now our needs are changing. To the Californians: This is the Atlantic. Beaches are completely different here. VA Beach actually has more waves than many of the other beaches because of it's location (at mouth of Cheaseapeake Bay). But it's not big surf country--that's why people go to CA to surf. The Atlantic is much rougher than the Pacific, but out on the ocean, not near the beaches (though there are exceptions). And it's neither dirty nor run down--it's just a resort town like most of the middle class resort towns on the mid Atlantic (they are all starting to look too much alike in my opinion). There are other types of beaches, like the Outer Banks (and Martha's Vineyard, I'm told) that are more about the beach and less about the beach attractions.

Anyone Else Here a Fan of "Sloggers"?
Q
Comments (4)
I recently bought a pair of Sloggers Gardening Boots. I found them locally, they were reasonable priced, and they are made in the USA! I had been reading about them on line, and opted to go up to the next size, since I usually like to wear heavier socks in them. They are nice and comfy and easy to get on and off. I got RED ones at a friends suggestion, and I just love them.

Hi,
Glad to see that there are a couple more at least!

I have numerous Tall Bearded irises, but I have very great limitations on space and so until I move (which is hopefully soon), I will have lots for trade. Since I hope to move in the fall, I am hoping to find some folks locally who might be interested. I also have daylilies which look to be growing well enough to divide soon.

I'm seeking a BIG yard, and it will be a first for me...

I'm still interested in trading even if I don't get to move too soon. Let me know if you guys would like any photos. I'm at matbeach1@aol.com

I'm in Myrtle Beach / Conway / trying to grow all kind of vegetables with mixed results. Gardening in South Carolina is different and very specific to this area. I would like to learn more.

Im a western Horry County native. I love to be in my yard. I have Hosta, Day Lillies, Lantana, Ivy, and lots of containers. The heat and humidity can be a challenge to say the least. I only recently visited this forum for the first time. Good to hear from others in the area. Renee

I am in North Myrtle Beach. Love to grow roses and bananas, along with lots of other plants.
Great to know there are others around the beach checking in on the Garden Web.

I just discovered this thread, but I am in Myrtle Beach, in Socastee.

I grow cukes, tomatoes, squashes, beans, and peppers with success, also some flowers.
I know many people that grow bananas so, I may try next year...

I always get my info from the Clemson home & garden extension, and they have wonderful info about what cultivars are successfully grown here.

Nice to hear from people in my neck of the woods. :-)
