Are you planting a garden this summer?

This is a fitting topic! Money saved can be used for gasoline!! haha. I am not planting a garden, however, I have 2 tomato trees planted, in pots, on my patio. I got them from Gardener's Choice online, and had great success with them last year! Mine are now up to about 16" but will grow over 6' tall. The tomatoes taste very sweet, are plentiful, and I can't wait to get my first one!

I planted spinach this spring in light of the recent e.coli scare, however it all went to seed too soon. Not sure what happened. Maybe it was too warm too soon. Anyone know what I did wrong? I planted it early enough --we even had a late snow, but it was okay and didn't freeze.

I wish i could plant a garden.Unfortunately i live in an apartment and theres noway we could do that.When i buy my home then i will be able to.Enjoy your gardening this summer.

Yes- we are- we do every year- I say nothing beats going out to the back yard and getting fresh veggies- Sure it is alot of work- but the work is well worth it- We already planted the whole thing- Here is what we planted: Green Beans Yellow Beans Lettuce Radishes Zuchinni Summer squash Tomatoes- both cherry and regular Cucumbers Green peppers Red Hot peppers Brusselsprouts Canteloupe- First year for this- I hope they come! Carrots I love gardens-

Im planting but not with trees but a lot of flowers!!We love gardening and so with blooms.

How much space do you have for a garden? In other discussions, that was what held many people back from having a garden. Me, I've got lots of space, but it takes most of our income to pay for it. It will be all ours in about 29 years, but in the meantime... Anyway, we have several gardens. The main garden is next to the chicken shed. Two rows of strawberries started the garden. They are going to get moved to a different location this fall. They are flowering like crazy right now, and some young fruit are already developing. Next are onions, then peas, then potatos, tomatos, sweet peppers, beans, lettuce, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower and beets. On the other side of the garden I have the corn. In the corners I have raspberries and rhubarb. Another garden has the pumpkins, watermelons, cucumbers and squash. Near to the house are two small gardens. One has parsley, thyme, rosemary, and dillweed. The other has chives and walking onions. The walking onions are new this year and I'm curious how they will turn out. Planting this year is done. Now comes the hard part. Keeping the weeds clear, keeping the gardens watered. And then harvest. Actually harvest is easy. Preparing for storage is the hard part. Yes, by doing all that, we save a bundle off of food costs. But it IS a lot of work. I hope you're up for it. Maybe just stick to container tomatos?
