    The last 3 years I have grown a couple of cherry tomato plants. I want to try to add something else next year, but I am not sure what yet. I have never gardened before, so baby steps.

    Cucumber are good to try. And onions and garlic. Maybe corn and  beetroot

    Cucumber is a really good idea. I eat at least one salad a day, sometimes two and always have cucumbers on them. So far I have only planted in pots, but my wife talked about installing a couple of raised beds next year, so we will have some extra room to experiment.

    Yes raised beds are so good
     Also lettuce is so fast and easy to grow. Lettuce is a great one for success

    We set up our raised bed about 2-3 weeks ago. We're growing radishes, jalepenos, serranos, chives, cilantro, spinach, tomatoes and green leaf lettuce. Essentially, everything to have non stop taco supplies! Ha!

    I eat baby spinach instead of lettuce in my salad for the nutrients. Is it fairly easy to grow?

    Easy peasy^^you can find other greens too. Just chuck some seeds in dirt. It's been rainy here, so I have to pick off the slugs.
    Garden is doing great!

    Slugs are a pain in the ass. Beer traps work  well

    Looks good, guys.

    @Loujoe, what do you do with your greens?  I know you grow a load of beets - the greens are almost as good as the beets but how do you preserve those?  Can't imagine eating them all quickly enough but I see they are cut off before you tossed things in the cooler.
    The love he receives is the love that is saved
