I visit your neck of the woods often with some friends that I ride with. We really enjoy some of the curvy backroads. Some are lucky and live in Lynchburg so they don't have a 200 miles trip to just get there.

Just like you said with the right weather. My plot I had planted started doing so well but it was so dry. Even with me watering wasn't enough to keep the sun from buring it up. Out of 6 total plots between me and a buddy only one started coming up really good, but not great.
