gardening

[bengerman]

so, I've been on me annual gardening kick for the last couple weeks. knowing there are a lot of DIYers here, I'm wondering what you all are growing. I was originall thinking of fruits/veggies/herbs, but feel free to include ornamentals you're proud of as well.


this year we have:
brussels sprouts
strawberries (more than we'll be able to deal with. probably making some strawberry wine this year )
lingon berries
blueberries
zuccini
peas
beans
and a pear tree (the pear has something simmilar to black spot, so it's actually the most work so far this season as the only solution for this fungus is to pick up all fallen leaves, which means raking once or twice a day.)



and hops, of course. one centennial, 3 mystery hops, and maybe transplanting a 3rd year fuggle from my friend soon.

cascade, really the only thing 'garden-wise'.

 

[MBasile]

Basil and cascade hops. That's it, don't have much of a yard to grow stuff in.

 

[Rick91981]

Tomatoes, basil, peppers(red, yellow, jalapeno), parsley, and strawberries.

 

[SkinnyShamrock]

We have basil, mint, parsley, and cilantro in the herb category, and in the veggie category we have green beans, mesclun lettuce mix, red leaf lettuce, cayenne peppers, hungarian wax peppers, garlic, leeks, carrots, and sweet corn. We had planted peas, but some #&%^^%$@ vermin and/or flying creature dug them all up. My neighbor also has about 30 tomato plants, zucchini, cucumbers, bell peppers, and spaghetti squash.

I'll just be happy if I get one single, solitary, tasty ear of sweet corn. The plants are already a foot tall, but they have to be "knee high on the 4th of July" for me to be excited.

I don't have a yard (live in an apartment) so we grow everything in containers. This year we've got a tomato, bell pepper, basil, mint, chives, parsley and dill. We have a sunflower that volunteered itself below the bird feeder too.

The wife also has a bunch of flowers. Not entirely sure what they are, though. My interest begins and ends at the eatable plants. (And building the containers, but that's neither here nor there.)
