Some of my tools are in a mailbox by the garden - others in hubby's shop here in SW MO. Zone 6a or b, I guess.

Yeah Blue, I did then forgot where this subject was at!!!! jest membered a while ago. and yes it does help to know especially when trying to hep somebodies with gardening questions. But growing conditions change within a few short miles out here. Neighbor just 1 mile round de curve and down a piece, has a whole different soil condition--- his is all red clay and harder than concrete. according to the new zone map fer Texas the line dips down and crosses my yard and the middle of da garden...

Right now I hang what few tools I have at my daughter's house, since that is where we plant the garden. Not a big one due to lack of space, but enough that we get to can and freeze a good bit of veggies. We are in Southern Louisiana so we have a very long season and we can plant 2 gardens, spring and fall. Looking forward to hearing from all of you. It is good to be back after such a very long break. It hasw been 2-3 years...

I hang mine about halfway across the Florida Panhandle, along the 8b/9a border. I bet that's an awesome place to grow. Do you have sandy soil?

Sandy soil implies that it is actually soil. It's pretty much sand, with not much by the way of nutrients or organics. It does host a truly impressive amount of nematodes, though. Also, with the high rainfall climate and hot summers, organic material gets depleted from the soil very rapidly. So I have to add compost often (usually twice a year). I grow a lot in self-watering containers, plus some raised beds. Other than fruit trees, I don't try to grow stuff in the open ground. I use self-watering containers and raised beds with intensive planting methods, so as to minimize the amount of soil that I have to amend. The fruit trees have to be fertilized regularly to get production. I can grow most veggies at one time of year or another. Rhubarb is a major exception, since they are perennial and don't like heat. In some ways my favorite time of the year to garden is in the winter. In most winters I can keep greens and root veggies and herbs going all winter without protection (though they grow very slowly in Dec and Jan). In colder years I have to cover some of them. We have a lot of mild sunny days in most winters, so it is nice to be outside. Also, I have just enough cold to grow low-chill versions of most deciduous fruits (apples, pears, peaches, plums, pears, etc.) .

Probably my drills and saws soon. I bought a solar powered gable fan to cool down the attic. Though I'm going to use my dehydrator to make kale chips tomorrow.
