Hi there! Glad to have you come over to this side of the fence! When can you usually start your spring garden? Weather seems to be challenging everywhere lately...

We had the rain issue here too so I started in big cattle tubs and a couple raised beds. When it finally did get dry enough to plant my garden started out like gangbusters but then we got rain again and I had some problems. I get decent tomatoes from the tubs. Green beans were fair, but Red Ripper peas and okra did great. Terrible to say - but I usually have my best garden when we have a really dry year and I can control the water...

For those of you who have super wet seasons, you might consider setting up a couple of hay bale beds. Instant garden without wet feet. (well... it takes 2 weeks to condition a bale for growing)

Welcome @Cntrygrl1964! I'm in NE Alabama, so our weather is likely to be similar. I've had trouble with the rain this last year too, and have been working toward more and more raised beds.
What kind and how many chickens do you have, and what general area of Tennessee? I drive through Tennessee multiple times a year.
Welcome to the group!

I ordered some jersey giants,khaki campbells, and barred hollands from Ideal Hatchery and will get them end of February.
Id post pics but it doesnt have a way to let me insert them on the phone.
