Hey Rich,

I started a similar garden this year. Started late last summer on some land with a burned down house on it. I've been clearing it myself with a tractor and chainsaw.

Anyway, it'd be hard to give you all the info you need to do it here. Two things I found really helpful were the local library (tons of books on vegetable gardening) and university web sites. Here's a link to a general planting guide at the university of Georgia.

They have publications on just about anything you'd want to plant. Probably Clemson as Farmerdill suggested or other univerities in SC are your best bet.

As for planting sub-tropicals, we're in the same zone but you probably have a better shot close to the coast. I'm trying a few things right on the edge like Pomegranets, Figs and Olives but mostly I've planted Apple, Pear, Cherry and Peach.

Jeff

Good luck!
