We live in North Central Alabama. Your video is very good. I also come from California 30 years ago.
My husband and I are trying to start seeds in side with grow lights. First time. We have 20 years of veggie gardening under our belt.
Trying to figure out what seeds to plant in kid November. Like you said, don’t grow what you don’t want to eat. Great advice!!🤣🙌.
I look forward to learning more from you.
Sincerely, Laura H.

Love your website and especially your ideas. I can’t wait to get started. I used to garden years ago and my soil was awesome. I moved and can’t seem to get anything to grow now.
I definitely need help preparing my soil.
