garden growers only!

i do not have a garden but have been thinking about starting one in my yard, just a small flower garden though.

I share a garden with my mom. This year so far we have planted spinach, lettuce, peas, squash, onions and will be doing tomatoes! We can pickles, salsa and tomato juice! I love the freshness of it all! Tastes way better than anything you can get in a store! lol

I have moved my patch this year as we didn't get a lot last year. I am growing chilis in a glass house, tomatoes in a growbag, beans, peas, beets, chives and broccoli in my raised bed, potatoes in bags, and sorrel in a tub. We also have a patch of rhubarb, a cherry tree and two small apple trees I planted 3 years ago.

Plowing it last year...



Will be the same this year,lots of potatoes,tomatoes,sweet corn,squash,eggplant,lettuce,green peppers,onions and melons.

This winter I had lettuce, arugula, onions and kohlrabi growing under a cold frame when it got too cold. I live in north Florida.

I just harvested the last of the onions and kohlrab and have the onions on a rack drying down the tops. I have a bed of herbs - chives, rosemary, basil, thyme, marjoram and sage.

I have two types of tomatoes planted - one heritage type and one specific to our climate. I still have lettuce for a few more weeks; then it will be too hot for it and I will put okra in it's place. I have a bed of sweet potatoes, 3 types of peppers, Japanese eggplant and 2 kinds of summer squash. Oh, I also have a bed of cantaloupe.

Happy gardening!

I love to garden. We plant tomatoes (roma, regular, grape and cherry) , cucumbers, basil, jalapeños, broccoli, cilantro and zucchini. Also pumkin.
You can do so much with these veggies!

Cilantro is a new thing I am gonna try to grow this year, any tips!

Google it. It doesn't do well in heat at all. Mine is already grown and we're just starting spring.

I have 2 gardens - a small herb garden just outside the door and a large veggie garden. In my herb garden, I have rosemary, thyme, basil, cilantro (only early on though as it's a cool weather herb) and sage (which I didn't plant, evidentially a bird decided I needed it there! BONUS!).

Our veggie garden is approx 25' x 70' and we normally do zuccini (SP?), yellow squash, cantelope, tomatoes, radishes, jalepenos (I can these), green beans and sweet potatoes. This year I hope to add lettuce, peas and maybe a couple of other items. We tried corn and watermelon, but never get a good crop.

Oh... and we are building a chicken coop as we speak so we can have fresh eggs. yum!

my garden is similar.... 25x50..... and you can find a LOT of chickens on sale now and even more the weeks after Easter when they arent so cute to folks anymore....Craigslist in my area is full of ads for free chickens & a few roosters....

we have a shed and since we are getting a new garage built, Im gonna use the shed as a chicken coop....

the weather here has been too cold & rainy to direct seed outdoors so I got a very late start on my indoor greenhouse last weekend...

Certainly do, and very lucky as we have a huge garden for living in London.

At the moment, we have on the go:

General planted stuff in and around the garden:
Apple tree
Two grape vines (pinot noir and a chardonnay)
Every type of herb under the sun
Blueberry bush
Blackberry bush
Raspberry bush
Loganberry bush (though this still just looks like a stick in the ground)
Strawberry hanging baskets
Wild Rhubarb that keeps coming back.

Beds:
More garlic than you can shake a stick at
Onions
Shallots
Spring Onions
Lettuce
Rocket
Carrots
Pak Choi
Tomatoes

Greenhouse:
More tomatoes
more carrots
Kiwi Fruit
Cheyenne Peppers
Jalapeno Peppers
Hops (oh yeah!)
Grape offcut - see if it works

Oh, and two chickens

I've got to dig over a couple of beds to get them ready for the stuff in the greenhouse to go down, so we can get more on the go.

we tried potatoes last year, but got naff all in return for the amount of stuff we used.

Nothing better than fresh stuff out of the garden.

This will be our 4th summer doing a garden and I still feel like I have no idea what I am doing!

We'll have corn, tomatoes, peppers (green, red and jalapeno), pumpkins, onions, broccoli and green beans for sure, we haven't decided on anything else.

I can tomatoes, salsa, corn, and green beans. I chop and freeze my onions and broccoli. This year we have a second freezer so we are going to be doing a lot of broccoli and onions.

We just bought our house soo I'm still trying to figure out if i have the time. I planted herbs and let them grow wild... basil and mint and now lavander, I'm on the search for Rosemary plant and another super frangrant herb thats pretty. So when you walk up to my front door all you smell is the herbs love love, love it... hope it works out like it is in my head. :flowerforyou:

I bet your garden smells fabulous! Be careful with the mint - that will TAKE OVER your whole garden. You may want to move it to a canister (or bury a canister in the ground to contain it. (My dad made the mistake of planting it on a side yard in CA - within a year it took over the WHOLE side yard. Smelled great but man what a pain. LOL!
