    I have been gardening for a few years now. Just got mine planted this last weekend. Normally do it earlier but between the rain and the tiller breaking down I am a bit late this year.

    I like the snow pea right out of the garden and my wife make a delicious chocolate chip zucchini bread. Cant wait to have some this year.

    I LOVE gardening!!!!!! I have always been into it, but i didn't get into organic until a few years ago.

    My goal this year is to feed myself COMPLETELY from my garden for 21 total days this summer, no need for them to be consecutive.

    This year, since i started this journey to better health, i have really felt a strong connection to my garden. Stronger than ever. I am trying a "Square foot" garden this year, and if successful, i plan to post videos to youtube.

    I am growing several varieties of tomatoes, several sweet and hot peppers, cucumbers, zucchini, cantaloupe, brussels sprouts, cauliflower, broccoli, several kale varieties, several herbs, strawberries, several blueberry varieties, several varieties of raspberry, carrots, radishes, beets, many lettuces, hops, and probably a bunch of other stuff i am forgetting off hand.

    Hubby is hoping to have enough extra to sell at the farmer's market - a learning / teaching experience for our 7 yr old.

    I am starting up a Veggie garden :) So far i have two tomato plants, a bell pepper plant, a cayenne pepper plant, a hungarian pepper plant there in pots now cause im worried bout my dog digging them out of the ground. I might make a area of the yard with a fence around the potted plants.

    I would like to get more tomato plants and pepper plants as well as cucumber and lettuce plants maybe some basil or oregano, strawberry and others. Its always nice to have fresh vegetables from the garden :)

    I grew up on a farm...even tho living there I didn't do a whole lot, that was more my parents thing; but when I bought my own house, I felt the need to start gardening. It started with just some flower beds, then its exploded from there! Flowers, veggies, a plot at the community garden, etc!

    I'm nowhere near being GOOD at gardening, but I enjoy it, and keep plugging away at it anyhow -- and my yard looks better than the neighbors, so I must be doing something right!

    I have a small garden area that I work on from time to time when my back permits :) I have roses a tomato plant, a jalapeno plants, a few other flowering plants, 2 kinds of aloe vera, a cherry tree, some other kind of fruit tree and some plants i can't even remember what they are, lol. I enjoy it, it makes me feel happy to see how lovely it all looks once I've got it all cleaned up and arranged just so. Collected rocks from here and there to do borders around and make it look pretty and gonna go get some wood chips this weekend as I am in the process of removing weeds and the old weed barrier and putting in a new one. Also made a little sitting area with potted plants all around, a bistro set and firepit for summer nights which I am looking forward to using very soon, maybe this weekend :)

    I have about a 15-foot by 25-foot plot that I garden. Squash, peas, pumpkin, cucumbers, beans, carrots - simple stuff. I love eating out of my own garden. It doesn't yield a LOT (especially with the @#$@#$ groundhog!), but it's a nice supplement to our food.

    We also joined a farmshare this year, and for $500 we're hoping to be inundated with a supply of locally-grown fresh vegetables all summer long.
