When we moved down here to Alabama, we had no idea what the new climate would be like. As it turned out we can't plant in the summer time because its so hot no plants will grow. This surprised us.
Its zones 9a and 9b where we are at.
So we planted in the winter instead and our plants have been growing just fine! Go figure.
We have actually received a bumper crop this past winter and have eaten nearly everything we have grown. I guess we have learned that being in a climate that gets as hot and humid as ours does, we have to always plant in the winter to avoid the really harsh heats that will kill all of our plants.
I mean, this has never happened to us anywhere we have lived. Its like we have to garden in reverse just to get anything. Does gardening in the winter sound strange to you? Because it does to me.
