I have a love affair with the garden every spring and summer season when I can actually enjoy the fertile earth. Im going to start a little vegetable garden for myself this year and try to make use of it. Last year I grew beans. I was just looking at farmer's almanac online, which is a FANTASTICly useful site, especially for getting recipes from. And anyway, I wrote down a list of possible veggies Id like to plant this time of year and Im going to Sheridan Nurseries in a minute to find seeds. I love this stuff.
Im going to try my hand at it for the first time this year I tried with roses but where I got them from they had fungus, and since I cant get to a damn store ever to buy some spray, they died. But the next plant, will be healthy I promise
a tomato garden is great, that's the only thing besides plants and flowers that I grow.. Good luck and have fun!
I grow tomatoes in pots...there are a lot of things you can grow in containers, I am wanting to grow some herbs in my kitchen.
I'm planing a little garden myself over here. The plan has been set back a bit because it hasn't rained here for a while... and the burnin' sun doesn't treat 'em veggies right. Gonna start next week though, I already got the soil ready and all. Can't grow too much over here though, which kinda sucks.
i haven't had a garden in years... it's always nice, until time to start pulling weeds... shouldn't most stuff already be in the ground by now?
i have a garden! my stepdad came by last week and built it for me (raised bed, i helped but he did do the bulk of the work) and then my mom and i planted it the next day. its pretty small, but ive got tomatoes and onions and beets and zucchinis and carrots and peas and basil and mint and lilies and pansies and marigold (apparently the marigolds help protect other planties from bugs, so theyre scattered on top of my carrots) yaaaay! though my tomatoes look a bit shitty atm, the winds been really strong and fairly chilly here the last couple days
I love gardening, even pulling weeds. I find pulling weeds very meditative. I don't have a regular vegie garden; I have stuff here and there, mixed with ornamentals. My front yard is warmer and sunnier than the back, so I put stuff there. It's handy-right next to the driveway. I have a great artichoke; we've already been eating those. I also have tomatoes, peppers, onions and herbs in front. In back I have fruit trees and more herbs. I'm letting some old radishes go to seed and I'm going to try to harvest the seed to grow radish sprouts. Tomorrow, I want to get a blueberry bush, more tomatoes, parsley, and Swiss chard. Yum, yum. I also have a big pot of basil in the kitchen, but it's getting too big and might have to go outside. It makes the house smell so good!
Cate, I hope you didn't buy the shoes in your sig to wear while pottering around amongst your veggies.
I haven't had an artichoke in 2 years and I am jealous. I used to gorge on roasted artichoke hearts in Italy, and chestnuts too.
I purchased a pair of these 10 years ago from L.L. Bean to work in the garden and their still going strong //cdn.llbean.com/images/sorry_prod.gif Hotwater
I dont have a garden but i have a bunch of pots and a sment one i made which is cool. I get a lot of free shit from the school greenhouse too so im set. Actually im going to germinate my Northern Light seeds right now before its too late.
dammit, i havent had an artichoke in like 7 years. i should buy one from the grocery soonish i dunno how well theyd grow in a garden up here, we have a riduclously short growing season and its usually not terribly warm for the start of it still
You guys are making me realize how lucky I am to be able to grow artichokes here! They actually grow as perennials here. Mine's in its second year, so it's going great.
heh, i did a job for this chick last week and i had to remove about 1000 artichokes. They choked her garden pretty good.
