Do You Have A Garden?

[IreneWpg]

Do you have a garden? Do you grow your own vegetables? Do you can or freeze what you cannot eat? Do you have flowers? What do you normally plant?

I live on the seventh floor of an apartment, so I don't have a garden. I usually have a tomato plant or two in a pot (just for fresh tomatoes), but I really have no garden.

I grow roses, hot peppers, tomatoes, and certain types of melons in my backyard. When the crop is more than what we can consume, we give them to friends. I also grow container plants indoors.

Do you have a garden? Yes! Last year was the first time ever, I had my own garden. I didn't plan it well and things over crowded other things and a lot didn't get used up. I have enough dill to last me the rest of my life. LOL So this year it's going to be planned better

Do you grow your own vegetables? Yes
Do you can or freeze what you cannot eat? Yes
Do you have flowers? I will this year! I now have a little flower garden out front. There was no point in the back yard. The kids destroyed what I had out there last year. So I'm pretty excited. We just made it two days ago.
What do you normally plant? Tomatoes are a must. Green and yellow beans. And I haven't decided on the rest of it yet.


What would you plant Irene... if you had a garden? You may give me some ideas.

If I had a garden (I used to btw) I would plant in rows in the following order:

leaf lettuce (can replant later in season)
radishes
carrots
beets (just a few - a little goes a long way)
green beans (half row) yellow beans (other half)
cucumbers
corn (works for shade as well)
tomatoes
onions (green and spanish)
potatoes

That is what I use to plant. It was a lot of work. You can get all of this at a market garden, but there is nothing like going out to your garden and picking what you need.

I couldn't be so cruel to the little plants! I don't exactly have a green thumb, lol
