Post by: mrbizzard on April 08, 2014, 06:03:42 am

Yes. I have a large garden.  I do various types of tomatoes, green beans, snow peas, asparagus, cucumbers, peppers, hot peppers, squash, radishes, beets, carrots, watermelon, cantaloupe, onions, broccoli...and whatever else I feel like.  I love fresh produce and its therapeutic to dig in the dirt.

I don't plant foods but do plant flowers. I have a lovely flower and cherry tree garden in the back of my house and I plant flowers there plus flowers in pots that I hang around outside to soak up the summer sun. They are really pretty.

I don't garden but I really wish I could. I would love to grow flowers and vegetables in my yard but I don't know how to do it correctly. Maybe someday I will learn. ???

I have a few tulips that bloom every year, and a few rose bushes, but the closest thing I do to gardening is to prune once in a while.

I will probably just do a few tomato plants this year as my dogs tend to destroy plants.  I don't have much hope for my flowers either even though I wintered over a bunch of them and I am starting new ones from the old ones.

We put up a small raised bed garden last year.  We need to get some nutrients into the soil and cut down a few tree branches to give the area more sunshine.

Plan to plant tomatoes, peppers and onions

No _ I don't garden.  Sometimes I wish I did, but know I wouldn't spend enough time keeping it up.  I admire anyone who does garden.

That sounds amazing, like you'd never need to go to the grocery store! :)

We used to have cherry tomatoes in the backyard, but that was forever and a day ago. I would love to grow some veggies and flowers, but I don't really have a green thumb and probably couldn't commit to it like I should. Sounds fun though!

I do not plant my own foods, but I had an idea of self conservation of my home, like solar panels and water and food from a food maker like star trek but those arent invented yet

I used to grow tomatoes, bell peppers, jalapeno peppers, potatoes, squash, and cucumbers. Last year I didn't plant anything and this year I'm not able to grow anything. I'm hoping next year I'll have a nice garden.

This year I am giving another shot at strawberries.  I will be planting mostly fruit this year.  Maybe some tomato.  I might even try pumpkin and watermelon again.  I only got flowers from them last year.

Since I have to do my vegetable gardening in pots on my patio, I mostly stick to cherry tomatoes, but have done different types of peppers, but don't usually yield too many of those.

We used to have garden every year. But this we decided not to due to no rain.
