Already Planning My Spring Garden

We won't get much of a garden this year because I have it all torn up for my 'raising the beds' project. When I get it finished this spring it will be almost 3 years I worked on it. My mother used to insist on growing potatoes, but I have nixed that, they might be fun to dig up but they take a lot of space and a lot of work to keep up with the friggin colorado potato beetle that they attract like mad. Plus you can get potatoes year round and they don't taste any different from ones you grow yourself. I like to grow sunflowers, tomatoes, basil, peppers (both sweet and hot), melons, squash, cilantro, Brussels sprouts, pumpkins, nasturtiums, marigolds and white geraniums(to help with pest control), and carrots (we do a lot of juicing). I'm into companion planting, and I also plant extra for any bugs that do come along to have a bite too. I love to freeze up tons of pesto and spaghetti sauce for winter use. That's all I can think of right now, there is more though.

Last year I planted my first successful garden, well, semi successful. My cucumbers were stunted and I only got a few peppers- the buds kept falling off the plants. But I am going to try again this year, and hope it is better. I am also going to try carrots and onions. I am keeping it small because if I get too big I am afraid the whole thing will be a flop. So I am going to gradually build up each year, keeping it manageable.

Yes but before when we are still in the province and now how I wish to have one again but since we are now living in the city and I don't have to much space for planting vegetable I can't have a garden now. I really missed eating fresh vegetable from my garden before we have peanuts, corn, squash, eggplant, onions, and many more.

Last year I had an apartment with a yard so I had a garden, but I have since moved. I grew everything. Now I have a really nice big deck, so I thought I'd grow some things out there. Nothing fancy. Maybe a tomato plant, green pepper,herbs, and some flowering plants. I also have 3 nice window boxes. I love growing things, so I will have something out there. Ha ha picture growing a corn stalk in a huge pot. I'd be the envy of my neighbors lol.

I'm mostly doing flowers in my garden, haven't yet found the fascination for veggies I guess although I have lately been getting quite interested in herbs so I might be trying a small herbal garden this summer. My mom is the one growing veggies and such in my family, mostly tomatoes, carrots, onions, peas, potatoes and strawberries.

i grow orchids in my garden.

I don't have a garden due to lack of time and critters that would take it all down. I'm glad you have the time and effort for this. It is much healthier to grow your own. I hate the fact that the food we buy in the grocery store has been sprayed with pesticides and coated with wax to look nice and appealing. Good luck with your garden and may you have a ton of produce!

Yes I do plant a garden, but its a small one. I dont have a lot of room for a garden so all I can plant is tomatoes and peppers. I really like tomatoes and peppers. If I had more room I would like to plant cabbage corn, potatos, green beans and watermellon.
