The old side yard garden in summer.

I grew veggies, fruits, herbs, and flowers in a yard Northwest of Atlanta for more than 25 years. Recently, though, I moved to the Mississippi Gulf Coast, where I am facing new challenges in growing good food: sandy soil, a yard that floods, hot and muggy weather, and new insects.
