@Flowerlover6 Which city in Georgia are you moving to? If in south Georgia, near Valdosta, gardening may be similar to your zone 8b garden. I live an hour north of Atlanta in the Appalachian foothills, and am in zone 8a (used to be zoned as 7b). There is quite a diversity in gardening from the north to the south of the state. Perhaps a key difference from Texas to Georgia is that Georgia has more humidity. We get 65-75 inches of rain a year, so except for intermittent droughts, it is muggy throughout the growing season, which translates to disease and insects. Also, we have lots of 4-legged pests to deal with, with raccoons, rabbits, and deer being some of the most destructive. Looking forward to hearing where you are moving to.
