What are you growing?

[Lil nutty]

Hi, I was just wondering what everyone is growing?

My kids have started watermelon, acorn squash, and pumpkin. They have also started hollyhocks, marigolds, and morning glories.

I've started leaf lettuce. What other kind of greens would you recommend?
I don't have a whole lot of space (gave most of it to the kids--I want to get them hooked on gardening).

Celery, red cabbage, red leaf lettuce, 3 types of tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, dandelions, blood oranges, figs, mint. Probably going to add some bell peppers and strawberries to the mix and maybe a couple more trees (dwarf, in pots).

Right now I have swiss chard, kale, broccoli, spinach, mescaline, oregano, basil, thyme, parsley, stevia and will probably be putting my tomato and pepper plants in in the next wk or so. Currently thinning out/transplanting flower seedlings sown from seeds saved from last yr (ie marigolds, zinnias, sunflowers, etc) and bulbs (king coleus, dahlias, etc). Got numerous flowering shrubs, fruit tree seedlings, perrenials, and planters full of annuals, and am always looking for a space and place to plant even more ~ Cathy

Right now our funky weather hinders me from doing much planting outdoors. Inside trying to get seeds going: tomatoes, lots of variety, cukes are doing fabulous squashes. I'm usually a great gardener, but at the moment CO has been so up and down in weather I can't seem to get out and work the great land yet. I always end up buying lots of veggie plants too so I'm sure this is no exception.

This year I'm adding flowers to my vegetable garden just for the pure joy and beauty of them.

[FloridaPatty]

I get carried away. I would love to stop growing weeds though so I could grow more food and flowers.

[RAW]

[garden granny]

Since I live in an apartment, I've got pots on my small porch of tomatos, parsley, dill, orange mint, and hope to add some more things soon. So far, everything's growing very well.

We've added chives, bell peppers and strawberries. We've also got jasmine, pregnant onion, wildflowers, poppies, pansies, and aloe vera.

[ltcartwright]

garden granny, I live in a tiny apartment also, any tips for me? I'm a very new gardener as well as very new to RAW. I'm thinking of lettuce, tomatoes, onions, corn and maybe strawberries. I got a tip from pamparred for a homemade earthbox, but the whats and hows of gardening, I'm still in the dark.

Thanks, in advanced!

[Lil nutty]

I'm checking into getting a few blueberries plants. Anybody have a variety that they enjoy most? I usually pick wild. Probably still will, but it would be nice to have some in the yard.

I was out picking strawberries this weekend (everything is late here this year). Absolutely delicious. We ate a bunch and have frozen the rest. Hope to make it back out to pick enough to last the year....or at least a few months!!:)

[VeggieMel]

I planted my first garden this year. I have tomatoes, zucchini, cucumber, swiss chard, parsely, watermelon, red and yellow bell peppers, black berries, rasberries, strawberries, chives, green onions, kale and most of the herbs. This is not the season for kale, but it does okay where I live.
