How Does Your Garden Grow

i enjoy gardens... my plants grow inorganically... and its very productive. i am happy to see their large green leaves that tells me that they are healthy. the fruits are very sweet too. i grow mangoesteen, durian, start fruit, cashew and lanzoness in my garden and they bear fruit. do you what to know my secret? i used goat manure, mixed with a selected kind of grass that is eaten by goats and put some special kind of earthworms. earthworms help fertilize the soil. i use the soil as fertilizer to my fruits. i don't use insecticide either for the pest in my fruits, i use urine of the goats, mixed with hot pepper and other plant leaves. you can try it, its less expensive, less chemicals but will yield a very good result.

Hi Dorann. When I owned a home in the country, I used to have a lot of beautiful flower beds and a nice vegetable garden. I did a lot of canning, freezing, and of course, we enjoyed the fresh veggies: sweet corn, lettuce, peas and beats, carrots, green beans, tomatoes, squash, cucumbers, and pumpkins. I miss it! Now that I have an apartment in town, I have to NOT plant things in the ground, but the neighbors upstairs, and across the hall, and myself plant things in pots and set them along the sides of the complex, put them in hanging pots, and set them on the patio. We share what we grow: herbs, cherry tomatoes, early girl tomatoes, and cucumbers. Next year, I'm going to add some green peppers and try potatoes. I've heard they can be grown in tubs and pails :)) And of course, I always have a lot of my beloved flowers. Karen

oh it is sad because our place is so small we cannot have any garden at all. i only have a portion where i can grow orchids. But someday i am wishing and planning to have my own house and place where me and my huby could grown the plants that we like.

hi dora.. how are you...how is going your cristmas plannings.. in our place little bit water problem these days.. my garden is little dull yaar...our climate is very cool so.. i can manage with it.. otherwise the plants will die.. mine is very little but.. i put some flower plants and vegetable plants also.. thankyou, have a nice day.

I have planted all kinds of crops before. We have had corn, cucumbers, watermelon, cantalope, green beans, tomatoes, squash, kale, broccoli, cabbage, brussel sprouts, onions, lima beans, radish and probably a few others though out the years. What you can grow and when you can plant will be determined by what region you live in and what type of soil you have. I live in Virginia and can get both cool weather and warm weather crops in during a growing season. Places farther to the north may have a harder time getting both in as their growing season is shorter. I currently am working for a feed/seed company and if you will PM me with your address I can mail you a copy of our seed book. It is great as it describes all the different types of plants/seeds you can get, how long it takes them to grow, etc. Melon plants will take up a large amount of space and require much work for little yeild. Beans are good but I recommend the bush type so that you do not have to put poles and wiring up. Broccoli is hard becuase often it will go to seed before you get enough on a plant to harvest. Hope this information helps and please let me know if I can be of any further help to you.
