^I started those from seed. Now I just need to pick up a few strawberry plants!
Woooohooooo! Garden is planted!!!! But need to Get zucchini totally thought I had that but nope! Will take pics as it grows. So excited!
Just basil and mint for now. We have some serious de-weeding to get to before anything else can be planted.
Between last night and this morning our 3.5yr old son and I planted about 1/2 of our vegetable garden. We planted 2 long rows of red potatoes, peas (first planting), radishes (first planting), pickling cucumbers, and carrots. It is supposed to rain about 1cm today and again tomorrow, but the ground is bone dry, so we really need it. I'm hoping to finish planting on Friday and Saturday. We are buying a few started tomato plants and some flowers for our son. Then they are forecasting more rain. Good thing it will reduce my initial watering costs for the season.
the 5 herbs I bought from Lowes almost a month ago (?) have been doing lovely in a long window box ( inside ) my front window, so yesterday i snipped and clipped and placed basil and sage leaves in my dehydrator, and did bundles of parsley, cilantro and thyme to hang up in the kitchen. ( had to hang them very high and out of reach as Claudius and Hamlet would have chewed them up! )

Your zucchini looks great! Our weather was dreadful in June, so our summer squash is all about a month behind.
did a quick " gathering " before I have to head out to physio later, got 1 lb of green beans, 1 hilariously small ( o.k. adorable! ) zucchini, 1 cup snow peas, 2 cereal sized bags baby lettuce leaves and 1 each of cereal sized bag of spinach and Swiss chard. That darn squirrel nibbled on a very ripe strawberry!! Oh well, enough greens for the 2 of us anyways.
Well I am seed-saving now. I harvested onion seeds from some of the green onions I grew this year and now I don't have to buy bulbs next year. Apparently they start more vigourously from seed and are easy to do. I have enough seeds for an onion farm so I am very happy with my savings.
How to grow onions from seed

Clump of parsley holds on outdoors. Mom has a pot with rosemary still-I snipped a section to use for the rosemary roasted squash casserole dish I'll be making on the weekend.
Dad has a small row of onions or garlic showing about 8 inches of green stalks in his garden.
I still have Swiss chard and green onions diligently trying to grow in my garden. I already cleaned up the old dead plants in order to help protect my little exploring babies.

I love to see pictures of what people are growing in their containers and gardens!
