New Here? Welcome!

Root Cause is a newsletter for South Georgia gardeners (or our neighbors close by) that want to improve at gardening, but don’t want to spend hours researching themselves.

What you’ll find here:

• Monthly planting guides tailored to our region, not those generic ones you see online.

• Practical tips on growing vegetables, fruit, as well as natives and other ornamental plants.

• Summaries on what is working for me in our humid climate, as well as what is not.

• Problems I am encountering in South Georgia and research backed answers on how to handle them.

• Advice on attracting pollinators and other friendly critters.

• An occasional deep dive on whatever piques my interest in my garden.

About Me:

My name is Austin Brown and I live in Thomasville, Georgia. I only started gardening a few years ago, but like I do, I quickly became obsessed. My garden has grown, as well as my experience, but I am by no means an expert. That is why Root Cause exists. I am curious, and I want to share what I learn with others in real time.
