Do you grown your own veges?

I have a big veggie garden but it is a bit neglected at the moment. When we decided to sell, I was just about to start the winter planting, but I have been concentrating on finishing all of odd jobs around the place first. I still want to get something growing in there as the yard will look more appealing with some healthy vegetables growing. At the moment I just have some Ceylon Spinach growing on a trellis at the end of the garden and the rest of it has been taken over by a pumpkin plant which grew out of the compost. We are still using the pumpkin plant for it's leaves otherwise I would have pulled it all out already. I want to grow some spinach, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, zucchinis, squash, broccoli, and loads of others. Too many to mention actually!

I grow quite a few of my own. We try different ways. My potatoes are in 5 gallon pails, Two tomatoes and 1st time to try parsnips in a pail. I have 4 large combine tires with tomatoes, zucchini, strawberries and cucumbers (they are about 3 foot tall) to make weeding easier. Out in the garden are tomatoes, sweet corn, cabbage, muskmelon and pumpkins (i hope). I also like perennials so we have strawberries, rhubarb, horseradish and asparagus.

Wow You are growing lots of different vegetables! Well done. I love growing vegetables - they are a lot fresher and tastier than shop bought. At the moment I am growing tomatoes, cucumber, pumkin, hot chillies, basil, carrots, lettuce, snow peas and garlic. We also have chickens, so we get fresh eggs - nothing nicer! I think growing your own vegetables is so rewarding and beneficial; I get a great sense of achievement watching them all grow and especially when I harvest them. Good luck with your potatoes and pumpkins (watch the pumkins - they take over!)

I´m in Winter right now, but I´m already planning my vegetable garden. This year I´ll make raised beds to have more produce. I am thinking of tomatoes, leeks, arugule, a couple of zuchinni plants, green beans, bunch onions and some potatoes in containers. My vegetable patch is not big enough for corn so I won´t even try. And I buy basil as it is very unexpensive and I have never been able to grow it as beautiful as the one I can get at the farmer´s market. Luck and take care!

Hi Mooncgild1au!. This two month I have been try to grow tomato, chili, Kangkong and tomato in container because I don't have open field at my house, we have harden it with cement. It grow really well, I hope this two week we can start harvesting it. I hope the weather will be supporting my plant grow because this past few month the weather really can not be predictable.
