Big Canoe and North Georgia in Late Fall
As the days shorten, and frosty mornings greet those of us who find ourselves in the mountains of North Georgia, late autumn is a wonderful time to take in those last trips to the apple orchards that dot this unique landscape. From farm to table, scrumptious family recipes made with genuinely fresh apples are never beyond reach, as numerous varieties are still coming into harvest...a sweet reward of life in this region.

Fall Visit to North Georgia

We will all try to remember the summer heat in the cold winter months and all the leaves off the trees showing us a bleak and cold day. I promise to try not to...

Planting in pots is a wonderful way to enjoy your garden without fear of finding that the next morning you have served a buffet for the deer. Because we are surrounded by wildlife I find this a much better way to enjoy the fruits of my labor. To achieve my goal I begin by visiting my local nursery and deciding on a color pallet for my garden. This year I chose Pink and Purple with white accents. To get a real WOW from my pots I usually purchase twice as many plants as I think I need. That way when I finish planting the pots are beautiful to look at right from the beginning and just get...
