Hello, everyone.  We're glad to have found this group.  We are Wendy's Produce out of Kinson, Alabama (waaaayyy down south - any more and you hit Florida). I attended Paul and Alison Wiediger's high tunnel workshop in Clanton, Alabama a couple of weeks ago and heard about this list.  Best use of weekend time I've had in a long time :-)  

 

This is our second year of growing for market.  We have about 3 acres planted in the standard southern market crops, and will be at the Poplar Head market in Dothan and the market in Troy this summer. We're a couple of software type people who came into this both for a desire for a change and the current economic times :-) While we are not organic, we try to use minimal impact chemicals and sustainable methods.

 

During the workshop, Paul mentions about selling herb transplants in small pots.  He said he uses colored labels for the herbs  I'm looking for a source for these. I figured I'd get 3 things done with one post - introduce us, ask Paul about the tags, and see what other people use :-)

 

I'm really enjoying this list - already had some great information come though.  It reminds me of the "old days" of te internet where information was shared, no spam.  I'm looking forward to digging through the archives.

 

And to all our fellow growers in Tennessee, our thoughts and prayers are with you.  Hang in there!
