Yes, but I have to put everything in containers. Fortunately, some of my containers are 3'h x 3'w. 5-6 different tomatoes, various peppers, herbs, and a few small patches of random small vegetables are all I can fit though.

Sort of. I have over 100 lily bulbs that come back every year. Occasionally I'll buy some annuals to fill in any bald patches. I have to fight with the squirrels because they dig up my bulbs & eat them.

Always. Year round. When I went out to pick parsley for tonights chimichurri sauce I saw a head of broccoli ready to pick so roasted broccoli will be one of the sides tonight. :) yum!.

Absolutely. Putting my order together right now for seeds. I'll be starting them indoors. Beds are ready as soon as the weather is.

I'll do something. I planted asparagus last year. Saw the tip of a spear poking up yesterday. I have cilantro growing all over my lawn. I've transplanted some to the flower bed, but it does better in the grass. The freeze last week may have killed my jalapenos. This plant has been growing for the last three years. I may have to plant some basil if it didn't replant itself. I didn't think about it, but maybe I should go plant some tomato seeds.

Yes, as usual. I am also putting together my vegetable seed order, which mostly consists of tomatos and peppers of various types. I also grow okra, squash, herbs, and a few lettuces if I get the seed out early enough. I have to fight too many critters for much else.

Been there, done that. We used to grow a BIG garden and can. One year we put up 1k jars. It's just me and the grandkid now. But I know how to grow and process food so I won't starve when the revolution comes and anarchy reigns LOL.

I do accidental gardening......whatever volunteers come up from the compost.

I also plant stuff for a salsa garden.

Heck, yes, and every year of my life since I can remember!

I've got my tomatoes and peppers all ready to start in my enclosed, well lighted garage grow space, but I sow all of the rest of my veggie seeds directly into my soil. My garden space grows a little bit every year.

I grow lots of different kinds of greens for all seasons, several kinds of squash and other cucurbits, sweet peas, green beans, rat tail radish, beets, my usual herbs, and things that I'm forgetting. I'll be sowing the cold season stuff this week, probably.

Most of what I start early are for the flower gardens....so much fun and so rewarding for me.

Outsideplaying, have you tried a floating row cover of any kind? I probably wouldn't even want to have a garden without it.

We plant tomatoes, cucumbers and summer squash, peas and beans. Usually have winter squash popping out of the compost area, and pumpkins volunteer, too. I grow perennial and annual herbs just outside of the kitchen door.

Yes, but I'm going to buy my tomato and pepper plants instead of growing them from seed.

As I age, I tell myself I won"t start seeds inside any more, as it involves getting the stand puts together and lights brought u[ from the basement. But this miserable winter is making me rethink! I do all of my vegetable planting in self-watering Rubbermaid containers, mostly tomatoes, peppers and cukes. I stole a corner of the hosta bed to put some tomatoberry plants in last year. (they are a small, cherry tomato size, but taste wonderful and bear a lot.) I have a number of beds for hosta, perennials, annuals, etc. It's really hard to keep everything weeded, but I do love it. I may even try a bit of winter sowing, which I haven't done for a few years. It was so rewarding so I may just have to give it a try. Heaven knows, we have enough snow to bury the little jugs in!

If the weather permits. We live on soggy clay, and my pumpkin patch is not well drained, so it will depend on how wet the spring season is, and how long the rains last. If the spring is dry, I'd like to plant a row of potatoes on the north side. I have a tomato garden which I left fallow last year, then added some rotted horse manure at the end of the summer. It's in more friable soil, so I'm looking forward to planting tomatoes this year, especially cherry tomatoes.

My daughter and son-in-law take care of planting several smaller plots in the yard. Last year they raised tomatoes, zucchini and yellow squash, peppers, onions, carrots, green beans, radishes, elephant garlic, and greens. They will probably repeat all of that this year, except the tomatoes.

Every year I get volunteer tomatoes in the same spot, and try to plant pepper seedlings where they weren't last year but they have not done well the last 2 years. There is always 1 month of sweltering heat and humidity with no rain. Most of my garden is made up of flowers and herbs. I love trying different annuals or biennials from seed and use the winter-sowing method to start them in fall or early spring. (The squirrels and rabbits do much damage, but I do have some fall-sown larkspurs I hope will survive.) I have too many self-seeding perennial wildflowers (echinacea, rudbeckia, verbena, mallows, etc) but I keep many of them for the birds and butterflies and bees. Rabbits tend to eat my parsley so I keep it in a pot. And I have many Egyptian walking onions which do walk all over my garden! Anybody want some? or seeds of wildflowers?

Rhizo, I have not. Do you use it mainly to keep control of things like squash vine borers and those type pests? The critters I have to worry about are raccoons, possums, and deer and most recently armadillos that have figured out how to tunnel under the garden fence. It's a battle and I have waged war with plenty of war stories to tell.

I have a beautiful large perennial garden in front of my house, 140 feet of daylilies on one side of our property and about 70 feet of hostas beside a grass path. I also have a perennial garden in one corner of our back yard. I have a small cold frame for peppers and three 8 X 4 raised gardens made by standing patio stones on their sides in a frame so they are high, filled with great soil, weed free, and inaccessible to my dogs. I grow tomatoes, peas, beets, carrots, garlic, kale, and beans in the raised beds. I start the tomatoes and peppers in the house as well as any herbs or greens that take my fancy. I also have some very large plants that I overwinter in the house, most impressive are two eight foot bananas and a jade that I have had for forty years.

We plant a dozen tomato plants at the back of our yard and plant a variety of stuff in a community garden a few blocks away. I dread the summers though because recently they've been so very hot and humid. Takes the fun out of gardening.

Hey to Tasha! Good looking guard.

Yes, I will plant more this year. I had a million zinnias last year, and as a result a million butterflies. And a cardinal vine that attracted hummingbirds. Ah. I just moved in a little over a year ago, so I am establishing my perennial bed little by little a LOT didn't survive. I am having to relearn it all over again. Something I hadn't planned on since I've gardened for decades. My herbs did pretty well. One tomato plant stayed the same size until August and never grew. August, it died. The other tomato plant grew to twelve feet. What? Some sort of learning curve for this yard. So more perennials, and animal attracting plants like always. Further, I am hoping to add 5-10 yards of topsoil and a french drain. A huge project is looming :( It'll be good to finally get it done.

I don't think it is going to happen here.. as I will be gone for most of the summer.

Yes, can't wait! Love growing plants from seeds. Gives me some gardening joy before the season starts. :)

I will plant
an assortment of vegetables including tomatoes, beans, chard, kale, peppers,
oriental eggplant, arugula, beans and others.

I will grow a
variety of herbs in containers near the kitchen door. Additional herbs such as
basil for pesto will go in the ground.

I can never have
too many annual flowers for cutting including zinnia. In addition to existing
perennials such as lilies and peonies, I’ll grow dahlia, gladiolus and other
non-hardy bulbs.

Purple Prince Zinnia

I'm expecting to do so.

Got a catalogue from a neighbour the other day.

Hope more of the stuff comes up, this year - last three years somewhat discouraging.

ole joyful

Yes! No tomatoes this last summer and I really missed them. My garden did horribly.

I don't do alot of vegetables, the local farmer's grow them so much better than me. But I did buy a few packets of seeds for this season including holy basil, dill (for swallowtail butterflies as much as for us), and scarlet runner beans. Now I need to figure out where to plant them....

No vegetable garden for me, just a few flowers. Years ago, I did have a vegetable garden, but that was before the deer came into the neighborhood. There's no point in trying when they are around. Also, I found that I can buy all the fresh vegetables that I want for less money than I was spending on my garden. Strawberries were one exception. If I were to do it again, I would need to rebuild the carburetor on my roto-tiller. It is clogged - been sitting too long. The engine is ok even though its over 30 yrs old. It hasn't had enough hours to wear it out.

We are now plagued with deer, racoon, and a ground hog. I've managed to ban the groundhog to a location that is wooded. Its a struggle to keep the deer from eating the buds and new blossoms off my flowers. I have been trying to establish perennials to cut down on replanting labor (and cost).

I'd be having me some deer sausage.
