What do you grow in a garden?

As you know Gerty i love my garden. I have rhubarb, asparagus, strawberries, blueberry bush, winter onions that come up every year. I have tomatoes, peppers, summer squash, cucumbers, broccoli, potatoes planted. Would like to plant more but i do not know when.

Other than a few pumpkins that R and the kids planted, it's all flowers and shrubs, pretty much. We did have a few fruit trees at the last house.

well right now I have a good one going I have 6 different kinds of peppers 2 different kinds of tomatoes ,potatoes ,onions , an watermelon an on the other side of the yard I just started lilac's an my favorite roses every year I say I am not going to do to much but I always manage to do more but hey the neighbors like it

I have been too lazy to plant a garden so far. I think I still have time if I start soon. I have to make a garden from scratch though and I have not gotten a shovel to help with that yet. My son wants watermelon and my daughter wants tomatoes. I want cucumbers. IF I ever get around to it.

hi lady, im trying to do my best with some flowers, and some herbs that i've grown by some seeds like black basil and garlic, a strawberry and a zucchini, but well im kinda lazy and its more dificult when i forget to water my pots for a couple of days.

Due to the nature of my physical status I only grow in pots. I have tomatoes in pots, squash in pots and strawberries. I would do more but with a hubby that is an invalid I can't. My daughter in law is bringing me a few seeds for okra. Truth is there a veggie stand not for from here and truthfully it's easier to buy the food. But love to grow ! Especially tomatoes :)

I just got around to planting my flowers last weekend and yesterday I put some vegetable seeds in the ground--corn, romaine lettuce, peas, green beans, tomatoes, bell peppers and scallions. I can hardly wait for the beans and peas! I love peas and wouldn't you know, they are high in calories and carbs compared to other vegetables!

I would love to have a garden. I used to have a herb garden just outside my back door and we had a vegetable garden. I would love to grow english cucumbers, ornamental lettuce, cherry tomatoes, green peppers and strawberries. I used to have strawberries that were so plentiful I had them from Spring to late Summer. Yum!

I haven't had a garden here since daddy passed away in 1985. Mother never did care for all the hard work involved. I feel kind of embarrassed saying this but I never have known how to plow up the land to have one. I remember I planted some cantaloupes one time when we had a garden and they turned out so good! It sounds like you really are going to have a good one this year.

What I grow in our garden were basically all flowers and plants. We live on the second floor and we actually do not have much space to plant something like for those who lives in the ground floor or those who own a house with a garden space for a small plantation vegetables or even flowers. But if I have bigger space, i would like to grow some Tomatoes and even oranges. However, oranges were few and does not really live because of the weather. I also love to plant some vegetables like eggplant and squash. I hope to get a bigger place for planting when we move to zürich.

I like flowering plants. But if only i will have a bigger place or space to plant or a garden,i would like to raise some vegetables too. It is always nice to cook fresh vegetables and seeing what i've grown from my own hands makes me so happy. I remember when i was a kid,back to my hometown,where my grandfather has a big space for gardening. He plants vegetables and i love watching it grows from a seed. I wish to have my little garden. You are so lucky to have some space for gardening my friend.

strawberry plant should increase very quickly and are very good especially in different shakes and strawberry cake. If I had me a garden I only grow strawberries, tomatoes, peppers and chilli, and of course I would plant many fruit trees because I love fruit, they are natures candy.

I just stick to having flowers in the garden. We have everything form roses and lavvender to jasmine and aloe vera varieties. i do love a pretty garden but I would like to perhaps grow some vegetables. I have greon herds before, but I suppose vegetable gardening would be a litte more difficult and time consuming.

Your gardens all sound delicious.... I have been a student this year and I let my garden slip and it got a bit weedy! Now that my exams are over I have planted some radishes, beans and peas and I have had onions and garlic in since November. This weekend I plan to put some salads in. Nothing tastes as good as fresh food from the garden! (And I am very bad at growing ornamentals, vegetables seem to work better)

You seem to have green fingers GardenGerty. We had a very bad winter so we have to start the garden from scratch again this year. Our rubharb was saved from the frost so that is beginning to flourish. I have mostly trees and shrubs growing in the garden and just a few lettuce plants, also some spring onions and a few herbs. I'm hoping to get a few cabbage plants this weekend so fingers crossed that the fine weather we have had for the past couple of weeks will stay with us for a while. I would love to try growing a pumpkin but I am not sure that we would have the proper soil for them. Must check it out.

There is absolutely nothing better than home grown. I am not a big potatoe fan. I do eat potatoes often but in small portions, I need to cook them almost every day my brother in law is Irish and a huge potatoe fan. I live in an apartment and not able to garden due to health. Lsast year my friend came by and she brought some vegetables from her garden. She brought potatoes and I cooked them all since there were only a few and I thought this way I'd have lots to make pan fries and even a small salad. Well let me tell you those little potatoes didn't last long enough to see a salad. My brother in law looked up from his plate and said it's good to see you eat, I have never seen you eat so much potatoe these are so good and right he was. I love radishes but couldn't grow them they got worms every time. My favorite home grown is Potatoes, carrots, radishes, leaf lettuce, peas and turnips. My all time favorite is leaf lettuce. I wash it good spin all the water out then mix it with a little vinegar, little salt and a little olive oil OOOOHHHH La La. lol

Oh how I love to garden, or I should say, use to love to garden! That's one thing I hate about apartments, not much to do, and I don't have a patio or balcony here either. I wish I could come over and help you weed, haha, get some sunshine and fresh air, sounds good to me. We'd have fun too. Eggplant is always easy to grow too if you like it, yummy. Did you ever have fried green tomatoes, mmmmmmmm? I love those too.

hi yall...i do have some cool stuff to show you,i do plant palms in my garden and and have quite some cool pics of rare palm trees..take a look at my blog at www.exoticpalmtrees.blogspot.com

Hello gardengerty, I have two seperate gardens roughly 8feet long by 3 feet wide. The first one my oldest daughter and I share it. She has tomotoes and green beens and some flowers in my section it is corn and cumbers and some yellow onions. The second plot is tomatoes, lettuce, catalope, zuccini, green beens and snow peas That is about it. Thanks and have a great day Unique16

The veggie garden is in at our house too. We put in green beans, onions, radish, brussel sprouts, cabbage, squash (2 varities), pepper (4 varities), lettuce, kale, beets, spinach and tomatoes. Luckily we have gotten just the right amount of rain to keep things going and the temperatures have cooperated. Already there are tomatoes and squash on the vines and the cabbage, lettuce and onions are ready for harvesting. My mom does most of the work in the garden at my house and she also has one at her house. She was able to retire this year so she really enjoys getting out and growing things. It is so nice to have fresh veggies and not have to pay an arm and an leg for them.
