Joe I live in Florence but don't have any tropical looking type plants. Dale

Daffodils will naturalize beautifully in your location, with little care. King Alfreds used to be grown commercially just outside of Beaufort, SC literally a stone's throw from the coast! As long as the planting site drains well all year round, your bulbs will perform nicely for years to come.

Yes, Paul, here in Georgia we plant fall tomatoes in mid July to August first. Usually early varieties that can handle a chill well (Glacier, Stupice, Red Siberian, etc). GGG on the Georgia forum also has a technique for stripping the diseased parts off of existing plants that have shut down from too much heat with a pair of scissors in one hand and an alcohol pad in the other (to keep scissors/plant clean). Then she sprays with a neem oil mixture and tries to keep the plants healthy so that they might start to produce again once the heat goes down. She has good results. I use her technique all summer and my plants are so much more healthy than before... Oh, and now is a good time to plant early producing cucumbers too.

I live about 4 hours from Myrtle Beach; we go there every year or two. There is a family-run hole in the wall restaurant on Main street in NORTH Myrtle Beach (that's a few miles north of MB itself), a few blocks from the ocean, called Hoskins. Very simple, no alcohol, but it has some of the best fresh seafood simply prepared, that I have ever eaten (and I'll be the first to admit I'm a snob when it comes to seafood). Scallops were incredibly sweet. And if you have a free afternoon drive down another 18-20 miles and check out Brookgreen Gardens. One of the most gorgeous spots in America, it's the largest sculpture park in the world. Here is a link that might be useful: Brookgreen Gardens
