Do you have a vegetable garden?

7 years ago i did the same. i loved the ideal of haveing my own graden after so many years liveing in apartment. i plant matoes,green beans, peppers, cummber,corn, potatoes i plant in a box on side of home yummmm.orka punkin,water melon, i cut down on green beans,tomato .cant keep up so i down size a little, cant give stuff away.

I bought my house at the beginning of summer last year. For various reasons, I haven't been able to do anything besides chop down the weed infested patch of grass. It's currently a flat strip near the house (north wall, so heavily shaded) then a small retaining wall with a steep slope behind that, and another flat strip at the top. The slope is south facing, so there's plenty of sun and the garden is quite sheltered. I plan to dig out the slope and put in another retaining wall to create a 3 tier terrace. Hopefully, this will give me the most useable space. I'd really like to learn more about your veg. garden as you mention the crops I would most like to grow. I've also requsted your 'friendship' so we can discuss this more.

no i don't hav bt i hav a guava tree n papaya tree so u want to know something abt that then i can probably tell

I have a garden too. It has a mango tree, a jackfruit tree and a few coconut trees. Apart from that it has a lot of flowers. I love flowers more than anything. They give me a nice feeling. I try all types of flowers and would like to add more.

I have a small backyard vegetable garden at my place here in the Philippines. I grow tomatoes, "pechay" (local version of Chinese cabbage), cucumber, peppers and papayas. I am trying out bio-intensive gardening (biological as opposed to chemical form of agriculture in which a small area of land is intensively cultivated, using nature's own ingredients).

I live in a small house on a small lot. We have a garden on all sides that will grow anything. Last year I had 10 tomatoe plants, a pumpkin plant, and a bunch of onions. I love to see my work turing in to something I can use. My dream is to be a small scale farmer, but I cant afford the land. For now I just keep dreaming. We are looking for a new home with a larger yard that we can plant more on. Cross your fingers for me.

We bought our house 4 yrs ago come August and though I have plenty of room for numerous gardens I've not had one yet..I'm planning on having at least a veggie garden this yr though and a herb garden as well..I like to grow various pepper (chili, green, banana etc), lettuce, cherry and roma tomatos, cucumbers (lots of cukes LOL) and this yr I want to try carrots again and onions too but I'm not sure what else...

i plant chilli i pots. easy to plant and pretty quick harvest.

i have a small back yard but i still manage to make a tiny garden every year. i grow tomatoes, cucumbers and carrots. that's all i have room for and those are my 3 favorite things to eat fresh out of the garden. it's so convenient to just go right outside and pick what you need for the day, i love it. one thing i haven't been able to get that i want to grow though are yellow tomatoes instead of red. i love those better becuase they have less acid in them.

In order to maximize your space, try planting corn and beans together, the corn will grow and make a stalk for the beans to climb. When I was growing up, we always had an ordinary vegetable garden, then a potato patch separately. It eases the work load a little, was easier to weed and dust for insects that way. My hubby and I can't take care of a garden now, but I can use containers and flower beds to grow some tomatoes and lettuce and peppers. I have also maximized space in my garden by planting a patch of lettuce in short rows, closer together than it says to, making a 'bed' of lettuce. I've done radishes, carrots and onions that way too. As long as there's enough space in between plants for it to grow large, it's usually easier to pull the weeds from a small bed than from a long row.
