I write the Georgia-based gardening column "Good Growing"
Raggedy Ann likes to greet me with a good morning "hello! Where's my food?" #chickensofbluesky

Can it Jack O'Lantern? I tried carving up different fruits and veggies: flagpole.com/food/good-gr...

I found Cranefly Orchids! Native to most of America's eastern half and easy to identify in the winter because they're one of the few plants with green leaves. The underside is a bright purple. They prefer shady forests. Can you find any in your yard or nearby forested park? #GAnatives

Privet is invasive in Georgia and hosts plagues of whitefly families. My La Mancha goats love eating privet! Every year, I cut more branches, decreasing their food costs, decreasing the eventual whitefly population and decreasing the number of invasives in my yard. #goatsofbluesky

I cleaned out the three bluebird boxes in my yard. Bluebirds scout out nest areas before moving in, so I like to finish this in December/January for any early home hunters. Sometimes I pretend to be a put-out property manager while I clean the last tenants' gross debris.

Jingle bell fetch. Santa's pushiest (non)reindeer knocked his antlers off as soon as possible. Second to capturing the frisbee. #dogsofbluesky

Growing indoor lemons in Georgia. Not as hard as it might seem and the flowers smell amazing. #georgiagardening #gardening

For my zone 8 friends: good time to take a walk outside and collect the dry golden rod seeds.
