Seed growing pros: Want to trial some seeds?
Comments (6)Hi Bob, I am a bit of a newbie to gardening, but am in the habit of measuring germination rates. I homeschool my kids and this would be a really cool science experiment. We are also in the process of starting a new garden so this would be really interesting for us. So, if you don't have three people already I would be interested....See MoreNewbie to Tennessee gardens
Comments (11)It is extremely different here than east tennessee. If I am not mistaken you guys have the beautiful land with the nice humus rich soil. We are in farmland country!! We have concrete in the summer. Orange to brown clayish thick mud when it is wet. You can lose a shoe easily in that mess, not that I would know from experience or anything, and I am not talking about just a flip flop I mean a tied on sneaker!!

Full sun plants up north we can get away with planting them in partial shade meaning morning sun afternoon shade. Plant trees shrubs and if you can perennials in the fall. You can pretty much plant about anything down here that you could up north, you just may have to adjust where you plant it. Meaning what type of sun exposure.

Comments (9)Speaking of the northern Earthkind trials, they really could at least let people know why no details have been released. There were six places involved in the trial. Colorado was the farthest west and Minnesota was the furthest north I think. Then there was Iowa and can't remember the rest. There were 3 separate sets of roses Kordes, Earthkind and Northern Earthkind. Not a word has been released. All of my inquires have been directed to Dr. Ziesak and that goes nowhere. It's annoying! Isn't the NYBG kind of warm. On the line of 6b and 7a it's not really my I idea of cold. Cream Veranda is excellent here. I'm loving my new this year Carl Ploberger....See MoreJamie
