A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion New Members Greetings from Mississippi.

Hello everyone.I'm from south Mississippi.While we do have long growing seasons, it's extremely hot and humid, with very little rain. Other than plants that grow almost anywhere(cosmos,marigold,etc.) and natives, I haven't found much that will thrive here. I already have every native plants I could find in all their variations. If anyone's has had success in a similar climate, please tell me your' secret.

Hi Moth2Flame, and welcome to the forum. Mississippi must be one of the greatest place names ever devised! I don't know that much about your climate, but can sympathise about not getting much rain! Anyway, you will certainly find some good advice here (just not from me!).

Hello Moth2Flame Glad you found us!

Sounds like you have a nice garden with so many varieties of your native plants there ,, * We love to see pictures here, *
I'm From North Tx so our humidity level isn't as intense as yours but it very hot here in the summer. We didn't get much rain here last spring and summer so a lot of my plants in ground suffered too,, even tho my water bill was high trying to keep them going,, so I feel your pain to a degree

Stick around,, lots of good people here with awesome gardening tips,
I'm looking forward to seeing pics' of your native plants

welcome from a former gulf coaster! i feel your pain on the humidity and rain, but you will find answers here!

Hello Moth2flame.---I must say I like your quote.

Welcome to the forum.---
I look forward to seeing photos of all of your plants.--
As I live in the central US--I cannot help you much with advice, sorry.

Thank you all for the warm welcome. I've found lots of great information already. One thing I haven't been able to find is germination techniques for Passion vine. I'm sure I've just overlooked it. Can anyone tell me where to find some info?

I'll look for some pics to put up asap. To be honest, I'm a forum newbie and haven't mastered adding pics to post yet. Please forgive me for any(the many) mistakes I make while I'm learning. Trust me, there will be plenty of them.
