Any Fellow Gardeners in Troup County, GA.
Comments (1)I'm not too familiar with the LaGrange area, but I live in Buford. Its near the Mall of Georgia. I've lived here all my life but I've only been gardening about two years. I think that qualifies me as a newbie. Especially when there's folks on here that have been gardening for decades! Feel free to e-mail me. I'd love someone new to talk to! :) Staci...See MoreLurking forever - would love to meet fellow gardeners at a swap
Comments (18)Hi! I'm not far. I live in downtown West Palm Beach. Because I'm downtown, my lot is really tiny but I do have some plants to share. I know what you mean about wanting to share gardening adventures. My husband believes if it is a plant it should be cut, hard. I swear I can hear the screams. I'm not much of a gardener, but I have a lot of passion and I love all the great gardens posted on this site. Let me know if you would like anything I have. Check out my profile page under my trades.

Comments (4)Welcome, Bea! I had to look up your location but I'm a little bit familiar with the Sandwich/Tamworth area west of you. Recently we went on a great small farm tour in Tamworth that was put on by the OLLI program (education for 55 and older). I asked about garden tours because I went on one several years ago in the Tamworth/Sandwich area. The farmer told me to check with the Bear Camp Garden Club. What I learned on that garden tour was that there are 22 fewer growing days than I have near Concord NH. Last night there were 12 deer in the field south of us. I had trouble with deer the first summer but started using deer repellant. That seems to have worked. That hayfield might be a lot tastier. Rodents were horrible last year, however, eating a lot of garden veggies. Friends love using a salad table which is something I might consider if I were pregnant! Hope those young guys give you some help with stoop labor. I am much older so hope gym squats are going to make gardening easier for me this summer. I've had some good luck keeping a low tunnel over a veggie bed until things are well along (good for zucchini) and then using it late in the season to protect a late planting of bush beans from an early light frost that we get around Sept 18 (but then have a couple of weeks of warm weather). It is covered with Agribon that originally came from Johnnies....See MoreBrendan Krawiec
