Download or read book The Gardener s Calendar for South Carolina Georgia and North Carolina written by Robert Squibb and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2008-03-01 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robert Squibb first published his Gardener's Calendar in Charleston, South Carolina, in 1787--a time when what came to the table had come from the backyard, and households that wished to eat well (or perhaps to eat at all) had to cultivate "garlick," shallots, coriander, and "small sallading," as well as "spinage," "cellery," "plumbs," and "pease" in their kitchen gardens. Squibb's planting guide was welcomed by eighteenth-century gardeners; for the first time they had professional counsel about specific plants that would thrive in the region and a month-by-month guide to the nurturing of their fruits and vegetables. No longer need they guess at the effects of the climate lag between England and Georgia or Carolina as they had done while using British calendars. This edition follows closely the format of the 1787 volume, retaining eighteenth-century spelling, punctuation, and ornament. Though nearly two centuries have passed, this classic of southern gardening remains a delightfully instructive planting guide.

Download or read book Fall Garden Planning written by Amy Whitney and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-04-16 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fall garden planning guide contains information about the selection of crops, setting a planting schedule, and getting the soil ready for the crops the gardener has chosen. The information specifically is for gardeners in the Southeastern U.S., in plant hardiness zones 7, 8, and 9, from the Carolinas and across to East Texas. The book represents a combination of research and the experiences that helped the author's fall garden be more successful. The hope is that other Southern gardeners can benefit, too. This book is not a general guide to vegetable gardening, and some topics are touched on only as needed to make adjustment for the fall garden. The book does provide a full overview of what a gardener needs to do to get the garden ready for planting, which crops will be most successful in the fall garden in the Southeastern US, and information about three common pests - and how to manage them - in fall gardens. The book describes steps to follow to create a personalized planting schedule, including an example schedule from the author's garden. A blank schedule for readers to use is on pages 62-63. The section about individual fall garden crops provides details about each of twenty-four different cool-season crops that a Southern gardener might want to grow.
