    Thank you for sharing the planting dates! It helps me plan my dates for next year. I live a few hours south of you and can grow the same kind of things. It’s so nice to see someone in the same region growing a backyard garden! Thank you for all the advice and ideas! Please keep them coming!

      Thank you so much for visiting and for the nice comments!! Some of the dates vary for us from year to year depending on what the weather does, but they stay relatively close. You know the weather here in Mississippi though!! It's always a surprise and a guessing game from year to year!! Thanks again!! -Lea

      Thanks for following the channel and watching! We did get your note that you left in the mailbox. That was very nice of you!! Maybe this summer, when I have wrapped up the school year, we can get together and visit and tour the garden!! Of course, I'm teaching summer school as well, but we will have to work in a visit somewhere!! Thanks again!! -Lea

    Your onions are looking great. I ordered mine from Dixondale this year as well. Are following the fertilizer recommendation they send or doing all orgainic? I am trying organic. Some of mine look great and a few don't.

      We read the instructions and recommendations but we go as organic as possible! We prepped the beds by putting a 3 to 4 inch layer of chicken run dirt. We covered that with Black Kow, just enough to plant the onions in. We hope this will supply the nitrogen the onions need. We do supplement about every two to three weeks with some blood meal and bone meal. This has worked for us in the past! We don't dig the little trenches like the instructions say and all that. Good luck with yours!! Thanks!! -Lea

      @@backyardhomestead2230 That’s basically what I’ve been doing as well. I used my compost this year. Last year used Black kow. I added blood meal once and a organic fertilizer a second time. I need to hit them again with it.
      They look great though.
