For safety sake I will plant some traditional varieties - Better Boy, Big Boy, Early Girl, Celebrity. One each just to make sure I have SOME maters. I really am excited about trying these new and different varieties. If they do well I will share the news with my MG friends. I REALLY hope to get some decent production.
spring is nearer than you think -especially in the south 
The first of January and I am looking for spring in 6 to 8 weeks. Absolutlely LOVE living in the deep south. You there Gumbo and Natural? We are seriously blessed with our growing season. Of course heat, humidity and mosquitoes can be the bain of my existance. When I start crying in the summer remind me how blessed I am over winter.
Thank you ALL for your friendly, caring, knowledgeable input.
I love the warm weather here. And I'm real grateful for it too. Especially since I lived in NY at one point too. Way too cold for me. I can deal with heat a lot better then cold.
I also hope to do squash, peas, okra, and some kind of root plant. like potato's or carrots.
