How's your garden grow?

That looks like just what I need! Mom used egg cartons when I was little but I don't eat real eggs so I don't have cartons. How much do those little things you are using cost? Above all, I want to be cost conscious, that's the whole idea of the garden!

Wow... you grow a great variety of vegetables my friend. Unfortunately, I don't have a big enough garden for vegetables but I have lovely neighbours both sides, who often give me various bits and pieces, and there's a local guy lives down the lane, who gives me all sorts of small herbs, plants and vegetables. I have a pic of him somewhere with a giant tomato he grew. I'll post it! Brightest Blessings, my friend.

Now come on AGB - that is a silly question to ask me - you know I would kill all the plants no matter how hard I tried! I do know that the other half and Niamh are going to be starting seeds off soon just not sure what or when! xxx

I'm all excited about my garden too. It hardly produced anything this year, but I'm getting a whole new thing going this year. If it does well, I might try to start from seed next year. For now, I'm putting in mostly plants from the nursery, already started. I want to try some heirloom plants so I can save the seeds.

On year we had a huge garden. We lived in the country and had a really good spot for it. We borrowed a tiller and my husband got it all ready then we planted all kinds of things. Only thing that didn't really do good for us was the corn.

Me and my family started growing stuff a couple months back since i live in Florida and it was time to start. We have three different types of tomatoes growing, some acorn squash, zucchini, peppers, corn, lettuce and some green beans. It is so much more fun to grow them at home then just going to a produce market and buying them. Its actually cheaper just to buy the seed's and do it at home anyways. Have fun with your garden.

Sounds like you've one of the "greenhouse box" thingies that my family bought this year. We've started only the stuffs that needed starting early. Filled all of the boxes...a few seeds each thing, and every single one of those seeds came up. I didn't expect it at all! I told myself,"I'll thank the powers above if a few of each thing comes up". And ALL of it came up. This is more luck than I needed, but I'm not upset...just overwhelmed. The dining room, where we started everything out, is now full of all those plants that came up. They're all transplanted now, into paper pots and the handful of pots we already had had stored in the garage...and the entire dining room if filled to the brim with plants. Every available surface is covered with them. These're more plants of these varieties than we need! So far we've sold a little over a flat's worth of them, but we expect to give away more. One of our closest neighbors has asked for a couple plants, so it looks hopeful that we won't be stuck with more than we can take care of xD We haven't gotten to digging outside yet. But that's next on our list of priorities. This April, I expect most of the work will be with the earth. In May, it'll be putting our plants outside, it'll be sowing the seeds that didn't need early starting. I'd go into the full list, but, we're not gardening so much as we're microfarming...and whenever I go into the list on mylot, it takes up more space than I should prolly take xD, so an abbreviated version; two kinds of beans (maybe three), zukes, cukes, couple kinds of squash (yes, including pumpkins), several varieties of peppers and tomatoes, eggplant, herbs, bushel gourds, cactai, melons, garden huckleberries, strawberries if they survived the winter, kohlrabi, brocoli, various greens, two kinds of corn, some edible flowers, and probably other things that I'm forgetting, heh. My dream, my dream is what grows despite my not daring to hope it'd do so. So much adventure, so many challenges ahead. It looks like I overdid it, despite my trying hard to be careful against both overdoing and underdoing, but maybe it'll turn out to be just enough? We'll see! I'm happy however it turns out.

I'm still germinating some seeds and it's a good season to plant now because it's summer here. I love to plant vegetables at this season but I have limited space. How I wish I have a bigger lot to plant.

Hi GRANDPA BOB, Thats a lot of seedling pots all read for the sprouting time and you wll be so busy, keep you out of mischief. Happy planting. Tamara

i have beautiful plants with beautiful flowers. but we didn't grow them . we just bought in a country side cause that is the easiest to have a beautiful garden. i don't like to plant seeds cause we have not been successful in growing up flowers from seeds. we don't have any idea on how to do it. anyways, i think it will depend on the soil type we have. and the climate and location. maybe our place which is the city is not the right place to grow plants or flowering plants specially from seeds specially to us who just grow plants by pots only.

Hey Grandpa Bob! How do you feel about shipping some of those wonderful veggies here to me in NY! I'll pay the shipping costs! I am so depressed already hearing about everyone planting their gardens and it isn't even summer yet! In fact, even if I wanted to we got this nasty note in our doors today from the landlord which we have never gotten before saying that no one is allowed to plant any type of gardens here on the property! I was shocked because some people plant flowers and have little flower gardens, no food stuff and now they won't even allow that!

i started growing things in my house and they are going good so far i cant wait to put them outside and watch them grow , i think its so neat to watch a tiny seed grow fruit or veggies my kids like to help so its a family thing we cant wait for every spring i live in pittsburgh so the weather hear wont let me put everything out side yet but i cant wait to watch my garden grow
