Is it hard to garden in Florida? I’ve heard it is due to the sandy soil. Anyone lived in any of the other southern states like Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi? We are def considering TN..at this point I just worry about allergies there. What about Oklahoma, although not Southern I do know a couple people there (they just don’t homestead). Thanks :)

Thank you for your response. We have looked at TN some. We liked northeast but I know Knox is growing so much and people are flocking to that area. So I feel in the years to come it will be way more populated. Maybe WestTN, not way west...But an hour from Nashville maybe. We like Chattanooga but not the nuclear plants near there. I can only imagine the water quality with that, wouldn’t be any fishing for me haha. Being in the Midwest I’m fairly used to tornadoes. I’ve heard they are building a new interstate or some highway through middle TN/ West TN area. Have you seen or heard of this?

We want to homestead and currently live in the Midwest currently. We are considering Texas, Arkansas, TN, North Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi to name a few. Basically any southern state. Possibly even Florida. We want a rural place that will still be rural when we pass the place to our kids. I’ve heard Arkansas is the best but not a lot of work to be found there. So where do y’all live or would recommend?
