RE: Garden Update 5

in #gardening7 years ago

If you don't mind me asking, where do you reside? I live in California and I'm starting a garden. I don't have a green thumb. I am trying to compile a list of veggies that grow here. I tried to grow corn (first time) and it was a big fail.

Sort:  

Hi, I live in South Dakota. I used to live in socal. grew tomatoes quite well out there . Cucumbers, lettuce, all grow pretty good any time. I used to plant peas three times a year they did best over the winter.I think you would want to start corn pretty early if you are south.

Thanks for the advice. I did get lettuce to go okay but not like the heads they sell at the store. I agree with your point on planting earlier because when summer comes the heat is unbearable. SDak is nice, from what I saw of it. I set out to visit Mt Rushmore but I never made it due to car problems.

Thanks I mostly grow leaf lettuce too. The black hills is some amazing country. our winter can get a little rough sometimes

I grew up where we got four seasons and I sometimes miss the cold winters, especially during the summer. Have a nice day.

I lived in southern Cal for 10 years loved the weather there but really appreciated the seasons when i moved back Fall is my favorite.

Yeah, one day I hope to wise up and move. See it only took you 10 years to wise up. Just kidding. This heat during the summer makes me wacky.
