Comments (5)Well, I grow a lot of plants that I harvest seed from during hikes in the foothills and such. Some off the top of my head are several mimulus (mimulus guttatus, mimulus cardinalis, mumulus aurantiaca), Epilobium canum latifolium and epilobium canum, Penstemon heterophyllus, penstemon pinifolius, delphinium hansenii ewanianum, lots of lupines, lathyrus nevadensis, Eschscholzia caespitosa & Californica, clarkia amoena, calochortus albus & several others... the list is pretty extensive haha. A select few have have extremely limited distribution ranges. Carpenteria californica is found ONLY in the foothills in Eastern Fresno County, and delphinium hansenii ssp. ewanianum is restricted only to the valley floor and the foothills in eastern Madera County. I love being able to grow these plants that are so unique and so restricted to my local environment. And as far as edibles go, I currently have sugar snap peas, leeks, green onions, daikon radish, turnips, kohlrabi, swiss chard, several types of lettuce and cabbage & bok choi. All grown from seed in the fall. I'm also starting lots of heirloom tomatoes from seed, as well as several varieties of peppers, eggplant, melons, corn, jicama and others for planting in a couple of months when the weather warms a bit more....See MoreAny 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 MoreOnly a fellow gardener could understand.
Comments (53)I don't think I could leave my current area. Born and raised here in the panhandle and as a kid I hated it because it's a small town and there is nothing to do aside from beach. Now, it's quiet, peaceful, and we're on some of the most beautiful beaches in the US. I loved living in Tallahassee when I was going to FSU, but I found out that I missed this area a lot. Sadly, there are no jobs as the industry moved out and the county seems to be doing little to attract more aside from tourism. That's great for the retirees and stores, but doesn't exactly bring in decent paying jobs for younger people like me and my husband :( I love the Gulf. Once you go to Destin/Fort Walton, or even just St. George Island, and drink in the redneck riviera and emerald coast, it's very beautiful and relaxing. I too took the beach for granted when I was a kid and it wasn't nearly as crowded with tourists as now. Georgia kinda found out about us and invaded I sometimes think LOL I for one loved the rain yesterday and so did my roses and veggies. :) Just so very happy it was just rain and nothing else in my neck of Florida....See MoreRelated Professionals
