I just moved out here in '05 from Randolph County. I taught at Eastern Randolph High School for 5 years. What kind of gardening are you doing/want to do?
Newton, NC here. It's about an hour north of Charlotte. We have about a half an acre we are planting this year. Hopefully we'll get enough rain to make it worth it. We'll plant a lot of Silver Queen corn, among other fruits and veggies.
I'm from the big town of Sims. Blink and you miss it. We actually live between Sims and Bailey in the country on an acre. We are about 45 minutes from Raleigh. Diana
