Having a garden is a lot of work. We've tried a few times and have grown corn, potatoes, tomatoes, okra, watermelon, strawberries. But the heat, lack of rain, insects, and rabbits (that love ripe strawberries), not to mention the weeds, made it too much work. Good luck with your garden. Nothing tastes better than your own veggies. Oh, I tried not using pesticides one year, just some natural things I read about in a magazine. The bugs loved it. Anyway, I wish you the best. Our son and daughter-in-law in SC have a garden. I don't know how successful it is, but they love working in it. Beverly You are truly ambitious. Having a garden is a lot of work.
