I am trying to grow red peppers this year. I also like to grow tomatoes.

We have lots of tomatoes this year, they did well. We also have a few onions and some dill. Hope to expand again next year.

I have a nice crop of peppers that are strong plants. I hope they make it through the winter. :)

I cant grow a garden at the apartment where I live but my husbands co-workers have given us tomatoes and cucumbers. When we buy a home we will have the garden of my dreams.

It's difficult for us to grow a garden here, as our ground is solid rock. I might try doing a garden in containers next year.

grow tomatoes and peppers and tried watermellons but rabbits got into them and they didn't make it.

We've probably had 100 cucumbers so far, and they're still growing like mad. The tomatoes, eggplants. and peppers have been great as well. I've been a bit disappointed with the green beans, zucchinis, radishes, and lettuce this year. The crops just weren't very bountiful or as strong as the past few years.
-
I didn't have much time for a garden this year, what I did plant ended up being neglected. I do still have a few black russian tomatoe plants they are just starting to get fruit. I am really praying that winter doesn't come early this year.

I have just pulled up my cucumbers, and the last of the radishes, to plant snow peas in one box and spinach in the other for the winter. The green beans and tomotoes are still going strong so the hot peppers.

Gardens are awesome! My dad always plants a garden with tomatos, cucumbers, and this year he's trying bell peppers. I would grow a garden, but I live in an apartment.... :crybaby2:

For spaghetti you could try any of the ready made sauces on the market or chop up black olives, green onions and garlic and saute them in olive oil. Make angel hair pasta in a pot. Drain. To serve put the pasta on your plate and put a little of the oil on it and add parmesan. It's a nice alternative. For pizza sauce you can use pesto sauce and I make dill sauce for fries chicken and fish. It might not be for you but its a suggestion.

I'm growing alot of things in my garden. I'm using some methods from a book on square foot gardening, which helps you make the most out of even a small garden space. I have cucumbers, watermelons, peas all growing up a fence but planted them in a pit to conserve water and help keep the garden soil from eroding. So far it is doing great and I've been making pesto and freezing it for winter. I'm growing a new pepper plant this year. It is an Italian frying pepper and I can't wait to try one out. It seemed to take a long time for the little bugger to sprout. well good luck with your gardens and enjoy them. Winter comes too soon.
