Let's do an introduction of sorts... Tell us about your gardens and what you have growning in them... Include some info about yourself and your areas too!.
I'll give it a start and let's see where we go.
I currently live in Burlington, NC, smack dab in the middle of the state. We're known for red clay soils that are hard as a rock in summer and sticky goey when wet. I've moved to a new place, so I'll be starting my garden projects over this year. I have an acre of almost blank canvas growing area to develop. Several areas are sloping and in my side yard I have this interesting rock outcropping. The trees are a mix of pine, hard woods and black walnuts. (Don't laugh Shoe) I have a greenhouse project that I'm revisiting and some raised beds that I'll be redoing too. Total relocation here folks.
The other area that I have is my inherited homeplaces in Coastal NC. So I get to garden in a couple of spots with vastly different growing conditions. These homeplaces are mainly maintainence right now, but with future plans in mind. My grandmother was quite the gardener and I keep discovering things around her house. Sandy soil, hot, humid, windy, salt air to work in. The nice thing is that there has been no pesticides or fertilizers on the land for over 10 years (unless you count the fire ant control attempts). So this is a possible organic venture in the future.
I share my spaces with a teenage son, a cat named Molly, an adult Aussie Shepherd named Libby and a new Aussie puppy named Keely.
OK - I've got a tall glass of Diet Pepsi and just settled in to hear about your places...
