Summer is giving its bounty in my garden.

in my garden, there are different types of vegetable that i plough, here is , tamoto, patato, lady finger, green piece. the same problem is with me that some time they grow very much, but some time not very much. i don't use imported seeds. generally i take seeds from local shop near to my home.

It's wintertime here, but I've been drooling over the seed catalogs! It won't be long until it's time to start plants indoors for transplanting later. What I'd give for a homegrown tomato right now! Last year was a bad year for gardening here, but this year will be better. A combination of things went against us - weather was very hot and dry and we had two new beds that weren't ready yet. This year, we'll be better prepared. The seed list is ready, the pots are at hand. All I have to do is wait for the ground to thaw to get at my compost pile!

I just bought a house and I plan on putting in an organic garden for most of the back yard. There are four of us here that can work in the garden so it should be a pretty good one. I need to get plenty of manure, composted cow or horse manure will work or if I can find a rabbit farmer that has plenty of rabbit manure to put on will be good also. I plan on growing the "three sisters (beans, corn and squash, Native American foods) as well as other things that we all like. In the future, I plan on using raised beds for growing our vegetables and fruits, but for now because money is tight, we will just dig in the manure on the fairly level yard and hope for the best. We will be mulching the plants to help conserve water and also to help rain from splashing dirt onto the plants and causing diseases from spreding. I have many ideas, now I just have to put them to work. I will be putting in a "tropical fish room" and there is a sump pump that runs water out to the back yard somewhere. I will have to find out where it runs to so that I can use the discharged water from water changes on my aquariums to water the garden.

I would love to be able to grow tomatoes and other things that could keep me healthy. I guess I just need to look into how to do a garden using pots since I live in an apartment and don't have a yard. Enjoy those tomatoes for me!

I actually haven't had good luck with a garden in my yard because of the fact that our lot and the lots that are surrounding our lot are heavily wooded and that does also mean that there is a lot of wildlife around here. I've tried to grow tomatos and I never got to eat the first one off of my tomato plants because the squirrels ate them first. However, as the spring rolls around, I would love to try growing some tomatos again this year.

Hi sister Wish i could visit your garden and taste the sauce and pickles you make, i had a garden in front of my home, but in 2009, we broke the old home, built a new one, the garden is gone.. Because of my love for gardens, hubby made one on the roof, along the boundary walls,i planted tomatoes, french beans and flower plants, that i need for daily pooja, but am sorry to tell you, i am unable to take care because of pain in soles of feet, i can't go over the steps lol.. Happy posting, cheers. Kalyani

We collect seeds from our successful plants and plant them as starters indoors to use the next year. I also try to get a few starters to see if I can get good or even better plants from them. We will not be planting until May here in Oregon.

Hello , marguicha . It's been a while since I last logged in here and it is good to be back. I needed some inspiration :) Well , in my garden I don't grow any fruits or vegetables but we have some mediu Cypress trees. I don't like them really and I have to cut their branches every couple of monthes. The nice part is that some of my neighbours grow lemons , pomegranades and pasiphlora and it grows fine , sometimes there are bats that eat the friut soon but no one cares about it... I would like to start growing vegetables someday but I don't know how to start.

Hi there, Well i dont really have a formal garden but i do have a onion in a pot since i live in an apartment, i left for a couple of days and left my vegestables on the fridge when i came back i had to dispose all of my veggies but the onion that i let behind seem to have grown and had roots, so i placed it in a pot and now i have a root crop in my apartment, yey.
