    Let's talk about gardening! I know we have quite a few gardeners around here. I'm sure we all have advice to share. Post what you're growing and let us see some pics! I'll edit this initial post over time and add any gardening links or resources that are relevant to our region. Some links: University of Tennessee Agricultural Extension Publications - Warm and cool season vegetable growing guides tailored for our area - Pages and pages of information on soil management and pest control - Good ideas for planning your garden USDA National Center for Home Food Preservation - THE source for proper canning guidelines to ensure food safety - Also covers drying, smoking, pickling, etc. Old World Garden Farms - An excellent source of information on vegetable gardening, canning, recipes, pallet projects, and other DIY - I'm a big fan of their "post hole digger" planting method, I've had great success with it Back To Eden Film - This film drives home the benefits of wood chip mulching and organic gardening in general - If you can stomach the religious stuff (not my thing) you can learn some good gardening methods that work Carvers Links: http://www.southernexposure.com http://www.seedsavers.org http://parkseed.com http://www.sandhillpreservation.com http://www.johnnyseeds.com http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/victorygarden/ http://leapingwatersfarm.com/?page_id=16.

    I'm impressed with some of y'alls memory and record keeping skills, wow. I do good to recall general details of storms 3 years ago lol. We should make a severe version of this thread come spring time.

    January 22nd 2000, Smithville Tennessee, my wedding day. I wasn't on weather forums at the time and the local news was not hyping this at all, so everyone in my wedding party was shocked to wake up to moderate snow with 2 inches or so on the ground. Roads got very bad quickly and many friends and family from west TN and north MS weren't able to make it. But, it was a friggin awesome snow storm and the timing was perfect. It snowed on and off all day resulting in probably 4 to 6 inches by the evening in Smithville. I white knuckled it over the plateau in my Maxima to the airport in Knoxville. Good times.

    Great thread idea! I'm enjoying the responses so far! The memory is fuzzy, but I was in Knoxville for that one as an undergrad. Wild storm for sure and fridgid temps, it shut down UT campus which was very rare. I recall about a half foot on the ground, in which some of us buried a keg of beer. Seems like there were several snow storms in a row there between January and early February but like I said, my memory is fuzzy and I'm too lazy to look it up. I do know there was enough snow to bury a keg of beer though.

    Good idea, here's Cold Rain's nifty list that was crowd sourced. Some of these won't be relevant to our area but many are. Edit: well that paste kinda failed, stupid iPad. I'll attempt again.

    Have you considered a professional wrestling career? Rowdy Roddy Piper retired I believe so there is a suitable opening for you.
