I'm trying to. 
I have peppers and tomatoes that I started from seed.
It's been a long time since I tried to grow vegetables, but I've been composting and building up my beds for the last couple of years, so I'm ready to grow something now.
See how it goes.  :)

I have a large garden and the whole thing is fenced in to keep critters out.  One day I saw a deer come in the yard and she jumped the fence and started munch on bean leaves. I had to shoo her out.  The fence keeps the bunnys out...most of the time.  One year a mother rabbit got into the garden and gave birth to 8 little ones right in the middle of the carrots.  Very funny...and somewhat ironic I suppose.

Yes, I've had a vegetable garden for the last 3 or 4 years. Every year I perfect the art of growing vegetables, but what I have most success with, is tomatoes. I grow them from seed every year and in fact this year, when we were going on vacation out of state for a few days, I took my baby tomato plants with me. My husband thought I was crazy but there was no way they would have lasted those few days if they were not continually watered. The tiny seedling pots can't hold much water and I felt they would be better off travelling with me. When I got home, I planted them in the garden soil and they are now nearly 2 feet high and I've had my first 4 tomatoes pop through just this week.

We don't have one but I have been wanting one. I think it would be a fun hobby and also relaxing.

My dad has one. He has one for ever. He grew up on a farm and learn all his gardening traits from that.

Yes! I live in a warm climate, so we have something always growing in it. At the moment, it's zucchini, a couple varieties of tomatoes and peppers, eggplant, and a handful of leafy lettuces and herbs.

I find that it's more stressful than relaxing.  Diseases, bugs, squirrels...sigh. Some seasons are better than others. I probably wouldn't keep it up if I didn't have children to share the experience with.

I try to have one every year and it is usually hit or miss. I am usually pretty good with the beans, peppers, tomatoes and weeds.
