Anyone putting in a vegetable garden?

JaneNY

We always start the summer full of hope! We've put in: tomatoes (and hope we don't get blight this year - killed many peoples' tomatoes last year), bell peppers, cayenne peppers, jalapeno peppers, lettuce, radishes, cucumbers (eating and pickling), zucchini, yellow squash, and I still have collard green plants to put in, and cauliflower. Oh, also bush beans. And herbs - coriander, dill, mint, sage, thyme, parsley. Now we need to keep up with the weeds in June and keep up (hopefully) with the vegetables come August and September.

I've already had radishes and in about 1 or 2 weeks I'll have peppers (hot and sweet banana)... maybe a tomato in 2 weeks. Peas didn't work too well for some reason. Beans, lettuce, spinach and parsnips all lookin good. Corn kinda got trampled by the roomates doog but I have maybe 10 plants left.

I put lime on in the spring and fertilized it 3 times. It really took off! My garden is gonna be done by July 4th. Guess I'll put in some pumpkins and squash!

Got all my tomato plants set up yesterday! Can't wait. We had tons of them last year.

I tried but the wheelchairs were very hard to plant and they kept rusting
when it rained.

I have a hard enough time keeping my flowers alive. I may do fruit and veggies next year.

Our garden is growing really pretty. Just hope it'll be better than last year. I am sure it will.
Tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, peppers, lettuce, peas, beans, herbs, strawberries and list go on and on and on...
A lot of work though, but having a veggie garden it's one of the best thing.

I'll probably go to hell for laughing at this, but I'm going to anyway...

Sorry! I guess I missed that thread since I've been living on the Porch during tour madness :oops: Looks like there's a lot of good discussion there.

not really....but kind of. i bought my wife one of those strawberry topsy turvy things when we moved into our new townhouse b/c she missed having a garden. it seems to be be working quite well----we have basil, mint, cilantro, roma tomatoes and rosemary all growing out of this hideous looking thing hanging on our patio.

I've never had a vegetable garden. I have had tomato plants and mint plants, but generally I focus on my flowers, lawns, bushes and trees. :?

Do you have any fruit trees? I've been thinking I'd like an orange tree and an avocado tree. :geek:

I put in tomatoes (regular and roma), lettuce (leaf and romain), carrots, onions (yellow and red), bell peppers (yellow, red and green), jalapenos, cucumber and green beans.
