My husband love gardening. We have vegetable garden at the back of our house and we planted okra, tomatoes, green pepper,squash, watermelon too, canalop, chikini, beans, corn, peanut, cocumber, dill and others. I cannot mention everything but its alot. We are hoeing today and they grow healthy. We planted lots of vegetables to give also to our friends and neighbors. We cannot eat all of that so thats why we give away.

I love a vegetable garden in the summer. I planted my garden this year, and it is doing very well. I've got tomatoes, green & red peppers, squash, wax beans, corn, zucchini, rasishes & scallions, and in my planter I have chives growing. There is nothing like fresh veggies from the garden!

I think that is wonderful. I would love to have a garden where I could grow my own veggies. We cannot do it here but someday we will. So for now we will just buy them from the store.

I love to grow my own vegetables, but I can't do it this year because we have moved and are just renting a house. But, my sister always puts in a big garden with all kinds of vegetables, and as long as I help her weed her garden I get the fruits of her garden. I also have some tomato and pepper plants that I am growing in pots this year so that I have some on hand. I also have some herbs in containers that I will be able to use this year, too. If I can I also try to hit the farmers market in my town on the weekends, I would prefer to do that than buy them at the grocery store.

Wow, that's cool. I really wanted to do that too so I don't need to buy my foods, just picking it up at the back of the house.. That's a nice life.

Each year, I plant around 20 tomato bushes. Since I love tomato dishes, I use all of the tomatos for myself and my family. I love the way they taste, and how they grow so quickly and produce so much. Besides, i'm in Wisconsin, so the Deer populations are massive... and deer don't eat tomato plants, so that keeps my crop yields high. I typically average around 90-110 pounds of tomatos in a summer.

I really love to have a vegetable garden.I planted some here in our backyard like okra,alugbati,potatoes,and tomatoes that's all,because we don't have enough space here to plant that is why sometimes we'll just go to the market and buy vegetables we eat. Your neighbors are so lucky having you,i wish i could be one of them..hehehe
