Do you Grow Vegetables?

oh yes, we had a large garden last year. Grew many tomatoes for canning. Made our own Spaghetti sauce. Cucumbers for pickles. Green beens, peppers, peas. We just till up our garden area each year, adding peat moss, fertilizer, and manure. Saves money in the long run, and is better for you.

I wish I had the time for a garden. I miss the days growing up that we grew a garden every year. You name it, we probably had it planted. We would can and freeze the veggies too! Thanks for bringing back good old memories.

I love to plant vegetables, because I like to cook and like to use my vegetables, I already planted indoor, tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, eggplants and onions and strawberries outside. I am waiting indoor vegetables get bigger so that i can plant them outside otherwise snails and ants are eating the leaves.

As I am typing this,my husband is finishing the roto-tilling. We will be planting this coming weekend. I was keeping an eye on him ,it seems each year he comes in and says he widened the gardens just a bit.Not this year so far, good thing or maybe I wouldn't have a backyard any more LOL. We grow 4 kinds of potatoes (reds, yukon golds, whites and sweets.) 4 kinds of tomatoes,( Cherry, beefstake, cherokee purple and hubby just asked for plum). We also grow broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, we tried brussel sprouts last year but they were very small, lettuce, carrots, radish, turnip, yellow & orange squash, pumpkin, zuchinni, green pepper, green and yellow beans, snap peas, cucumbers, corn, cantelope, garlic, dill, scallions, mint, strawberries and we have a raspberry bush. I blanch and freeze and am actually still eating veggies from last year's crop. We love to share our garden with friends and family and some of them love to come here and help plant and pick. A friendship garden.

Hi Austin...we have a very small garden ..in which we just have shrubs and flowers...nothing terribly interesting at all!! My Mum is the innteresting one with plants...on Monday i went with her to the garden centre...she was hoping to find another artichoke...and luck was in...she found two!!..she was thrilled...her garden is a credit to her...she adores the unusual...so therefore her garden is filled with triffids!!...well they look like triffids to me!!..but every plant is very special to her..and it may just be a leaf..but its still nurtured...she has spectacular pots...alli in bloom at the moment...wonderfully colourful. The at the very top of the garden..she plants just a little veg....she will plant broad beans..we got the plants on monday...then runner beans...maybe a few beetroot i think are in...her garden is also a santuary for the birds..she plants different shrubs and bushes with the birds in mind....and she spends a lot on feeding them...but it is her pleasure...Mum is at her happiest when in her garden...but due to her health..she isnt as active as she would like to be...

i like to grow my own vegetables or either a flower but the sad thing is that i can't because there's not enough space in our backyard to plant some of those

My mum is the greenfingered person in our household, she loves nothing better than to grow organic vegetables and is quite chuffed at her results. She grows runner beans, courgettes, carrots, radishes, onions and gooseberries! I love nothing better than to go out when the fruits are ripened to pick them and eat them, no chemicals and they are far nicer raw than cooked!

For the first time in my life, I have a backyard that I can make a garden for, but I never use it. I am sick now and I cannot do any planting at all.

I am trying again this year after a several year lapse. There is a trmendous amount of startup effort that has to be put into "in-ground" preparation, but I've tried container gardening and just don't get the same satisfaction as seeing a garden plot come to life.

Hi there... We have a big yard, therefore we're able to have a nice size garden. We grow, silverbeet, potatos, turnip top, spinach, greenbeans, lettuce, and had our first season of tomatoes, which are thriving and egg shape looking haha. Besides the veges, we have 2 rose gardens, a rock and cactus garden, flower gardens around the yard and fruit trees these being a granny smith apple tree, 2 lemon trees, a mandarin and orange tree, a grapefruit tree and a grape vine that runs along the fence in between us and our neighbour, so both houses get to feed off the grapes, we share the veges too. In the front righthand corner of the yard we have various trees growing one being a red maple tree, which I think looks pretty. We also love eating what we harvest, but most of all, we like to share them out to the elderly people around our town, especially the ones who cant really get out and about, and they really appreciate it. Have a great day...

Yes we do grow vegetables,my mom and i love to do gardning. We grow all sort of vegetable and flowers. MoM take care of vegetable i take care of flowers. but my experince is less in compair to my moms, so, whenever its time to take decision,which plant or flower to grow. she is always right.

no, i don't. but i'd like to grow some. i planted some vegetables when i was a child. it's an eggplant and a chili.i watered them everyday, and watched them several times per day. i was so looking forward to seeing them flower and have baby. hehe. but mine didn't grown as well as my grandma's. she didn't water them everyday and did't watch them growing, why my plants were weaker than hers. i don't know the reason. :P

Hey there! I'm a big veggie grower. We were pretty much self sufficient in veg last year from early summer right through until late October, so I was really quite pleased. It's hard work though!! This year we have the field all prepared & marked out. There's some things already planted, but I'm behind with planting my seeds already. I've got potatoes and beans in, plus a few tomatoes and aubergines. There's more tomatoes in pots and some spinach too. Eventually I'll have all sorts. I particularly enjoy growing pumpkins and squashes. I just love how quickly they grow. In warm weatehr you can almost see them creep down the garden! i'm not really into growing flowers. Much though I'd like to make the place beautiful, I prefer to be able to eat what I grow, I've got a big bed of pretty nasturtiums as you can eat them, but really that's about it. Happy growing!

I love gardening and try really hard to grow things but usually I end up killing it all, which is a real pain.

Back at home, my parents has a vegetable garden. It's amazing because my mother would just buy meat in the market and no more vegetables because we all have it at the back of our house. My parents don't use pots I guess because we normally has these vegetables that growns from the ground.

yes we grow vegetables at the backyard since we have enough area to plant and my mom plant not only vegetables but also fruit trees. Just a hobby of her and same as you we enjoy the fruits of it.

I love having the vegetable garden in the summertime. We grow all sorts of different peppers, radishes, onions, tomatos, cucumbers, squash and pumkins. I like to do my flowers too.

We always joke that we live on beach front property because when you step out into our back yard, you are literaly stepping on sand. Because of this we have not been able to successfully garden. My hubby promises that he will build me a garden box with soil, BUT... he hasn't yet!

Hello,austinbell! Gardening is a good exercise.it is my hobby.but due to shortage of space i have kept some plastic buckets & drums on the roof and have planted my liking vegetables like pumpkin,bitter guard,beans,cucumber.in the ground soil i have planted some banana plants,papaya,and mango tree and some flower plants.i water those plants and collect the vegetables daily and i get much pleasure in spending my morning hours in the garden.thank you.

I can't have a 'real' garden here, but I'll be putting a few plants on the side of the house and in some containers. I've already planted some seeds indoors and have tomatoes, cucumbers and some flowers sprouting already, and still waiting on bell peppers, banana peppers, sugar snap peas and beans to come up.
