@Flowerlover6 The area in northwest Georgia south of Chattanooga is quite beautiful and lush with forest-covered baby mountains (foothills). The keys to planting will be to pay attention to last frost date in spring (perhaps around May 1), and first frost date in autumn (perhaps around Oct 1). Once you know your zip code, you can type it into the garden planner here on Garden.org and it will give you ideas of planting dates. The area you are moving to is very wet and humid, so you will be battling diseases and bugs. The local gardeners in the area can give you some ideas about tactics, and also you can reach out on the various forums here for suggestions (i.e. tomato forum, daylily forum, etc). I also encourage you to visit botanical gardens in the area to see what plantings work for them. Here is a link to the calendar: https://garden.org/apps/calend...
