My Home Garden 

My location in Northeast, Georgia, is in the USDA plant hardiness zone 7b.

Vegetables that grow really well in Georgia and hopefully a few in my garden are: onions, cucumbers, collards, lima beans, turnip greens, snap beans, corn, carrots, cabbage, southern peas, squash, peanuts, peppers, tomatoes. 

Some of the fruits that grow well in Georgia are apples, apricots, cantaloupe, pears. peaches, plums, kiwi, cherries, strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, oranges, lemons, limes, and melons.

The climate is warm and humid most of the year, ideal for vegetable gardening but encouraging of certain diseases, pests, and weeds.

Spring crops are usually planted here in Georgia in late february and this continues until July. Fall crops are usually started in July and can be harvested pretty late into the year, usually until November.

Photographing my garden is a big part of the reward I get from gardening. It documents my excitement, my successes, and my failures. I can see how far things have grown and their process. There are many aspects of a home garden that are beautiful when photographed. I display my home garden photographs on this website and and a few others like Fine Art America, because it could be of value to someone and sometimes they may want to purchase it for their own use. 

Photographing my garden is a new hobby that I have discovered I enjoy. Gardening gives me a good focus and main theme to work with in photography. Since my garden is outdoors, lighting is usually pretty great. There are tons of amphibians, insects, and wildlife to photograph around my house, and a lot of woods, plants, and flowers. My edible home garden plants are my favorite photography subjects though, as there is usually something new happening everyday.
