kate copsey joined Michelle W. Flannery's group

Georgia Gardeners

This group is for folks who live and garden in Georgia. Let's talk about issues that are specific to our state, like the drought, clay soil, extreme heat and humidity, what grows well here, what doesn't, and year-round gardening.

Great idea to do this group, Roger. As an introduction, I am Kate and my website is www.katecopsey.com(usually in need of updating). I do presentations around the northern part of Atlanta GA and do some garden writing as well. I have two radio sh...

What are you guys saving this year? Is it going to be too late if this frsot does arrive? I have harvested all the tomatoes and peppers, so some of those seeds I have, but what about the cool veggies?

kate copsey commented on Pattie's group 'North Atlanta Seedsavers'

Thanks for commenting back. If you get desperate for a guest on your show, I could probably manage to fill in. I gave a talk in April at Smith-Gilbert Garden in Kennesaw about getting started with vegetable gardening (filling in for the original speaker, who had to cancel), and it went pretty well. The question/answer time stretched the talk out to two hours. It turns out that I have a surprising amount of garden trivia tucked in my brain.

If you'd like to check my blog, just to make sure I'm okay, it is

At 8:03am on May 13, 2009, Michelle W. Flannery said…: Hi Kate. Welcome to KGI. I see you're settling in, joining groups. This is a really great place for gardeners to gather. The best way to meet folks and make friends is to jump in and start leaving comments -- on photos, on forum discussions, on blogs, and on people's pages. There will always be a comment box on those pages to use.

I'm sure you're not as rotten a gardener as you suppose. There are a lot of challenges to working in a garden that take from our time and energy, and even our interest occassionally. I should know. As anxious as I was for this planting season, I'm way behind getting things in the ground!

Anyway, welcome! Make friends! And best gardening wishes! mwf

At 4:19pm on May 12, 2009, Ian said…: Hi Kate Copsey, welcome to KGI. I'm sure you'll find the site interesting, we're a pretty friendly bunch. You'll find all manner of discussions in the forum (follow the link in the top navigation bar) and there is also a notes section where I can put stuff that may be of interest to members. At the moment there are one or two "how to" articles and a whole range of recipes. (follow the notes link)
If there is anything I can do then please, just leave a message on my page.

zuni replied to zuni's discussion 'Garlic' in the group Ontario Gardeners

My original post was from last year. I ended up planting 50/50 (fall and spring). I found the fall bulbs were bigger and matured faster. This year I planted all of my garlic in late October (Ontario, zone 5a). This is early enough for the roots to...

Glenn Fletcher replied to zuni's discussion 'Garlic' in the group Ontario Gardeners

I think it depends on the type of soil you have as to when you plant. I think garlic is tougher than it looks, but no plant likes being sat in cold wet soggy soil. If you have free draining soil with plenty of compost like in a deep bed then autum...

I think that the pepper would be the culprit. You can add that when you shred the cabbage.
