My husband and I have a few gardens growing this year. We have our herb garden with sage, rosemary, basil, thyme, a bay tree, and oregano. Then we have two separate vegetable gardens with carrots, corn, yellow squash, zucchini, eggplant, peas, tomatoes (cherries, big boy, and one other type I can't remember what it is), potatoes, cucumbers, jalapeno peppers, banana peppers, and bell peppers. And last the fruit garden has strawberries, blueberries (along the edge), cantaloupe, and watermelon all growing around a mulberry tree and a pecan tree.
The tomatoes are slowly starting to make, so I'll be making no batter fried green tomatoes soon, and our squash and zucchini are making faster than we expected. The corn is starting to grow little cobs, so they're be ready soon. And all of our fruit plants are blooming little flowers on them.0 -
We're growing tomatoes, red peppers, basil, rosemary, parsley and cilantro. We have tomatoes starting now and my basil and cilantro are out of control. Unfortunately I have a baby rabbit living under my shed that likes my pepper plants. I need to do something to keep him out of them.0

I have a staggering collection of dandelions.
I should start harvesting them to produce beverages.
Or perhaps buy a rabbit to eat them. Maybe a goat... Homegrown dandelion-reared mutton curry?0 -

Can you fence them in? Rabbits can't jump very high so you'd only need about 6 in high fence, but they can and will dig under so you'd need to also bury about 6 inches.0 -
Definitely always have a garden. Just planted all our seeds and won't see anything from it until end of July. I'll be planting lettuce, tomatoes, spinach and herbs in planters from the greenhouse for a head start. We don't have much of a growing season here.0

completely untrue
you'd need a whole lot more than 6 inches.0 -
All I've pulled so far is basil. But I have the following going.
Tomato
Basil
Sweet Banana Pepper
Hot Banana Pepper
Jalapeno
Habanero
Eggplant
Zucchini
Doubt there will be much harvest prior to Late July / August. The main bulk of the tomato plants come in early Sept - first frost for me.0 -
I am the Garden coordinator for our local community garden.... I have baby pak choy, kale, spinach ready. Peas, kohlrabi, beans, tomatoes, potatoes, sweet and thai basil, swiss chard, tomatillos, onions are growing away. Very excited about harvest and all the new gardeners we have on board this year, Plus it's a kick *kitten* workout -weeding, watering, shoveling, raking, etc. Great stress reliever.0

Under or above ground? Above, I'm going totally by what I've read in gardening forums. My fences are 5 ft high to keep deer out. But 6 inches under has always kept the burrowers out for me.0 -
Tomatoes from the garden are the bomb.com! Peppers, broccoli, spinach, basil, carrots, garlic, onions, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, (new plant so prob win't fruit this year) cucumbers, parsley, and anything else I can fit!0

Tomatoes, zucchini, yellow squash, peas, green beans, basil, carrots, watermelon... pumpkin and cauliflower later. Well, it's the plan, but we haven't had much luck with anything growing so far My husband planted everything in April and we got a freeze that week end that killed off most of them. We'll see... Last year we got a ton of tomatoes and yellow squash.0

planted- tomato, peppers, herbs, strawberries, cabbage, watermelon and Cantaloupe, onions, radishes and i forget what else lol figure I will find out when it grows0

Above. Rabbits are very capable jumpers. Mine could easily jump a 3ft wall.
I never tried stopping them digging so I'm no help there.0 -
This is my first year growing anything other than flowers. The annual herbs are coming to the end of their lives and I'm prepping to replant for a late summer/fall harvest.
Herbs - Basil, lemon balm, rosemary, thyme, oregano, marjoram, Cuban oregano, parsley, shiso, chocolate mint, spearmint, and aloe
2 papaya and 2 pineapple, primarily for landscaping
serrano peppers - starting to harvest
habanero - the insects always get them before I can
and 11 tomatoes - 2 Brandywine, 3 Cherokee purple, 1 patio (a mutant because it was a baby I took out of my mother's garden out of curiosity, so not sure what I'm going to get), 1 large orange one of unknown variety (popped up with the serrano), 1 Early Girl, 1 Heatmaster, 1 Husky Red dwarf cherry, and 1 Roma. I have well over 100 green tomatoes, and some are starting to change color now.
I grew almost all of it from seed, except the chocolate mint, Cuban oregano (from a cutting), pineapple, aloe and 3 hybrid tomatoes I picked up at Home Depot late in the season in case my late-harvest heirlooms fail.0 -

Blueberries (on the bushes but not ripe yet)
Strawberries
Rhubarb
Peach tree
few raspberries
Tomatoes
Cucumber
Zucchini
Different types of thyme, parsley, sage, basil (just transplanted), chives, oregano, mints....probably more herbs.
Swiss chard.
From seed: spinach, lettuces (a big mix), magentaspreen, amaranth, sorrel , other mixed greens, carrots, onion (for green onion), peas, radish, kale.
Potatoes in a big potato bin made from pallets.
Not nearly enough room to plant what I would want to.
Flowers: calendula, nasturtium, zinnia, cosmos.
Starting tonight/tomorrow: Green beans (pole)
Would like to still plant: rosemary, more thyme and curly parsley, hot peppers to make my own sweet chili sauce, pac choi/bok choy, dill, lavender,
Never having in any garden of mine: cilantro
I'm in BC too- interior. Im jealous of your garden- sounds fabulous! Curious why no cilantro? Too hard to grow?
Haha. No, because all cilantro should wilt up and die off this earth for good. LOL. I vomit if I taste it. No lie.
I don't have space to grow squash but that would be my other must have. I love squash-butternut, spaghetti, acorn...any of them. Mmmm.0 -
I only have tomatoes planted so far. I'm going to buy a few more plants this weekend. I got a late start and contimplated not having a garden at all this yea. I think it will still be okay to start this late.0

Everyone's gardens sound great. I'm starting out with a small one this year. Tomatoes, eggplant, zucchini, cucumber and watermelon. If all goes well I would like to expand it next year. I would love to grow some berries.0

Haha. No, because all cilantro should wilt up and die off this earth for good. LOL. I vomit if I taste it. No lie.A genetic survey of nearly 30,000 people posted to the preprint server arXiv.org this week has identified two genetic variants linked to perception of coriander, the most common of which is in a gene involved in sensing smells. Two unpublished studies also link several other variants in genes involved in taste and smell to the preference.
