Gardening in the South - Website?
Question:I've recently taken an interrest in gardening, and will be landscaping my entire front and back yard. I wish to grow all kinds of things, from fruit trees to bushes to flowers to vegetables and vines. I was hoping to find an informative website that is easy to navigate about gardening in the south, Alabama specifically. Any suggestions? Also, I am on dial-up, so a simple text and photo website, without alot of extra crap to load, is preferred...
Answers:
www.gardenweb.com probably has an Alabama or deep south site, I use the Texas one.
What helped me most when I moved south was the magazine called "Southern Living". It's cheap - less than $20 a year, and it has a nice garden section each month. I bought a couple books published by them as well. Southern Living Landscapes and Southern Living Annuals/Perennials. Lots of info, great pictures and information about soils, plants and seasons that relates to OUR region. (so many garden books come out of Cailfornia or New England)
I have never checked to see if Southern Living has a website. I think I will just have to do that now!
Happy Gardening! It is wonderful!
