Herbs count I live in SC.The Good Friday thing is a tradition in the south. I start everything in the hot house and transplant when weather get warm.It's tough trying to decide wheather to Garden,Fish or Play Golf.Retirement is Hell.Decisions every day.

lol, you poor thing, how do you cope? lol, i'll trade with ya!

Haven't planted yet, good thing too it frosted here last night. The onions and potatoes would be fine, but the bell peppers wouldn't care for it lol. I was just thinking about this the other night, it would be nice to have a home and garden section, i will ask Mike if we can add that.

I was planning on planting next month.

I'm thinking about lettuce, watermelons, green beans, corn on the cob, radishes, and tomatoes. Maybe strawberries.

Now you all have me thinking about sweet peas.

It snowed here, too, on Easter.

I never heard about starting a garden on Good Friday.

I think planting on Good Friday must be a southerncuston.We are ususally out of danger of frost by that time.It is especially true for root crops.I'd like to share a couple of ideas that have helped me and it you have any tips plaese pass them along.gardening isn't about how much I grow[I usually give most of it away] it's about watching nature work it miriacles.If you have any construction inyour area ask thme for any small peices of concrete wire[weilded wire]and short peices of re-bar.This works great for tomatoes and running vine type crops like string beans early peas.Also se if you can go through thier scrap wood.theses work great for stakes and most contractor will be glad for you to take it because they have to pay to haul it off.Young plants fill milk jugs with water and let the sun warm them.Doesn't seem to shock the plants like watering witha hose.Hope these help.Please send me your ideas

Any hints for someone that has a severe rabbit problem?

I like to plant to teach my child about it. Giving the excess food away also teaches my child to be giving.

Rabbit stew???
Actually, here in North Dakota, they say that you should plant your potatoes on Good Friday to harvest them on the 4th of July. Everything else gets planted later, or it freezes.
