Do you garden? What do you grow?

Hi, doyoulikeme! Your name and profile should be to the left of the screen. Scroll down a little and you should see a box that says "Invite New Friends" scroll down to the bottom of that page til you see a box that says "mylot username." Put the name of the mylot user that you want to be on your friends list. That user will be sent a message and they have to approve you before they can be added to your list. It's a new security measure - good for the younger members of the site, especially. Nice to see you over here. I'll add you to my list!

Just pick a spot and start digging. Gardening isn't hard - honestly. I use seeds for everything except roses and those do take some dedication. You have to water them at least once a day - very carefully - if it's dry and windy, you need to water the twice a day. Check out the seed packages to see what kind of sun exposure your choices need. For example, tomatoes and strawberries need full sun. They just don't do well if they get partial shade. Green beans and black-eyed peas will accept some shade, but they need at least six hours of sun a day. The seed package, or the plant container should tell you how much water, too. Best advice on watering is to make sure the ground is dry before you water, otherwise the plant will drown - or the roots will rot. But you shouldn't let the ground stay dry for more than about 1/2 a day. Once your plants are in the ground for a few weeks, you'll get a feel for how much water they need and won't have to be constantly checking. I don't use pesticides, I used insectacidile soap to keep the bugs off - and I encourage the birds to come eat the bugs by putting out water for them.

I LOVE your answer! What a wonderful garden you have!

I LOVE fresh herbs. They make everything you cook taste sooooo much better.

I love peonies, Joyfulone. Unfortunately, they do not do well in Texas, where I live. We are having a pretty bad drought here. Wish we could trade some of your rain for some of our dry weather and even things out a bit for the gardners. :-D

I'd love to grow grapes. They are my favorite fruit. Hmmm...I think I'm going to have to look into putting in a grapvine or two.

That is so great. I'm terrible with container gardening. I never can seem to get the watering right. I envy you your touch!

Hi, promptwriter! I don't have any place for tomatoes. Took up all the space with roses. But I think I might have to make some space for them next year. I really miss having fresh warm tomatoes. Oh man, there's just nothing better!
