I do not but I have been recently thinking about starting one. I would to start growing my own tomatos, squash and green beans. I think it would be a fun hobby for my husband and I.

Yes, I have a garden although it's smaller than in years past.  I only have green beans, squash, okra, tomatoes and onions planted.

 :)I usually plant some tomato plants upside down.  This year I am working on a hanging garden and a wall garden.  I have a lot of trees in my yard and there just are to many roots to plant a garden in the ground.  I will be planting mostly edible flowers like marigolds and begonias.

I plant a container garden. Since it costs a fortune to buy fresh herbs, I grow mostly herbs.

I do also but a little one only.  We plan some mint and some vegies that we eat the most so we don't have to buy them.

I have a little area in the yard I planted stuff the last few years but it hasn't been very successful.  Tried to grow strawberries, cantaloupe and watermelon previously.  I grew some mint just fine.  Not sure what I will plant this year.

This will be year 2 of my gardening adventure.  I'm getting seeds started indoors this year for most of the vine and bush plants (beans, cucumbers, zucchini, tomatoes, peppers.  Planning to plant carrots, lettuce and onion bulbs directly in the soil.

I need to transplant some strawberry plants and a raspberry stalk, and picked up a couple blueberry bare root bushes.  Waiting for the rain to clear out so I can get those planted.

Hoping for a little higher yield this year.  But I know I'll need to be patient - with the cold winter, everything's getting a late start this year.

Yes, I love gardening so I have always had some form of garden. I've tried growing everything from lettuce to all kinds of melons. I also grow lots of flowers roses being one of my favorites, but this year we are lucky enough to have lots lilacs.

No garden as we have rabbits in the area that sneak in, but I do love planting herbs on the patio.

I don't have a garden..per se.  I have about 3 mj plants as i live in Oregon that are just starting to grow for summer.  I have a garden area but havent quite decided whether I'm going to dedicate the time to it this year.  I do care for my acre property and this takes up most of my day.  I weed eat and keep park like grounds.  I love it.  Hope everyone has a beautiful day.

I am just waiting for time to be able to plant, we are still have unsettled weather. Another couple of weeks and I will be. Containers and hang. Most of my stuff is planted by seed so the ground has to be a certain temp. I also can a lot of what I grow, and if I don't have enough I go to the farmers markets.

We do a veggie garden every year.  Easy veggies to grow are pole beans and zucchini, if you are new to veggie gardening.  We also plant other kinds of squash, peas, lettuce, spinach, tomatoes, herbs, peppers, potatoes, etc.

I want to grow my own herbs this summer, and herbs are costly, and get spoiled soon. If I had my own herbs, I could just clip whatever I need.

I don't have a garden.  I believe the soil in the city isn't fit/healthy enough to grow a garden.

When it comes to gardens I pretty much have a black thumb. I love to be able to grow veggies like tomatoes lettuce and herbs. However, I don't have the paitence or the time.
I have had marginal success with potted plants I love geraniums, tulips and petunias. :rainbow: :rose: :peace: :wave:

I don't have a garden as I live in a condo. But growing up, we used to have a couple of fruit trees (tangerines and mangoes) in the backyard.

Yes, we do.  We have tomatoes, peppers and herbs planted.  Most are in flower pots or buckets so that we can put them on the porch during the night to keep the critters from eating them up.
