Howdy! We're the Pierce family. Jesse, Savannah and 3 (almost 4) kids. Christians, 2nd gen homeschoolers, patriots and amateur homesteaders. We will soon be refugees fleeing the state of California. We've been interested for a while in moving, and now we're finally starting the process. We just opened escrow on a property in Phelps County, MO and we're super excited about it. Really looking forward to moving to a state with more freedom and meeting new people! We'll be starting our garden once we move, and we're realizing that there will be challenges and pests that we are unfamiliar with. If you want, (and you're in MO), let us know what your experience is with vegetable gardening! We'd love to learn from your store of knowledge, and we've got a lot to learn!

I'm a second year gardener. I'm in MO, and I've had great luck with relatively few pests. I don't use chemicals in my garden. My tomatoes do great each year. This year I've had a few slugs (gross!) and cabbage worms a bit. My lettuce, broccoli, cauliflower, okra, jalapenos, zucchini and collards did great! My strawberries got drown out with all the rain this year, sadly. I'll be trying a fall garden for the first time this year. Good luck and welcome to MO!!

Welcome to the great show me state . It’s been almost 10 years since I left the southwest for Missouri . I have a feeling you will LOVE it here.

jessepiercefam when do you think you will be getting here? We have a group meet up once a month in Texas county. It is on a Sunday afternoon usually, with lots of homesteading type people, put on by Travis at Prepared homestead. It is a great time with plenty to eat.

@ oldie : Hi Oldie, Sorry I haven't gotten back to you... I don't keep very good tabs on this right now. We're moving in early March- the new baby is the cause of the delay. Thanks for the info about the meetup. We're interested in coming once we get settled in. We really like a lot of what Travis has to say on his videos. -Jesse
