What did you plant in your Garden?

[accadacca]

I just got everything planted. This is what I have going this year:

[list]

[Wasatch Rebel]

Tomatoes, cucumbers (for pickling--I can't stand them otherwise), pumpkins, squash, potatoes, annaheim peppers, watermelon.

I decided I'd plant part of my garden in the parking strip this year to see how it grows as it's the only place in my yard anymore with full sun all day. So far though, that's the only part of my garden where a plant has died. :lol8:

-Better Boy tomatoes
-Early Girl tomatoes
-California Wonder bell peppers
-Cucumbers
-Cantaloupe

I am growing very small amounts of a couple things this year. Gonna see what I like and what is easiest to maintain before committing to a large crop, hehe. So far I do not not like broccoli. It's been infested with worms 2x already and looks ugly growing. My favorite is the grapes. They grow fast and low maintenance. Strawberries though are really cool in that they have already stared yielding fruit in less than a month.

So 6 plants of each.

- Strawberries
- Lettuce
- Broccoli
- Watermelon
- Cucumbers
- Cantalopes

and 8 grapes.

Gonna drop the hydroponics this year. Hated seeing all that lettuce going to waste with no one eating it. Even tried giving it away but only one neighbor took me up on it. :(

had to convert the greenhouse to bike storage :roll: but I did plant tomatoes, zuchini, crookneck, and sweet onions.....all too small to justify a picture :ne_nau:

Cantaloupe? The only thing they're good for is target practice!

I do a version of square food gardening but I use old tires that I cut the sidewalls out of and the flip inside out. I will try to remember to snap a photo it some time soon. I am still trying to get my garden in.

Hey Treehugger, I have had that horrible Simon & Garfunkel song in my head all day after reading your list of herbs. "Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme........."Darn you. :frustrated: :lol8:

So far I only have 4 varieties of tomatoes, cucumber, zuccini, beets and a slew of peas. I still have to get the peppers, corn, beans, basil, yellow squash...etc. in and soon.

[Cirrus2000]

I'm in Vancouver - what do you think I'm growing? Export quality! :haha:

[coinslab]

I guess i must be a gardener cause i plant my face in the pavement a lot. :lol8: :lol8:

[blueeyes]

I have worked my hind end off for the last two weekends on my yard.

Fixed my lawn mower (BY MYSELF)
bought me a kick ass gas powered weed trimmer (straight shaft industrial grade :lol8: )
laid plastic edging around my flower beds in the backyard
fixed my swamp cooler (replaced pump, replaced all the pads and the spider)
and fixed my mothers day flower bed that is in front of the house so that the dirt and bark quit washing away.
used little pavers to create a walkway from my patio to the grass
AND
replaced the control box on my watering system and fixed two sprinkler heads


when the lawn is no longer burned up from a broken sprinkling system i will post picks..

my snowball tree has been in full bloom and it is so gorgeous

Blue, it sounds like you know a lot about swamp coolers. So, can you tell me why I am burning out motors at the rate of 1 per year? It gets old not having a swamp cooler that will keep running for at least 2-3 years without me having to climb on the roof 50 times to try and figure out what's happening.

[Wasatch Rebel]

You could be contributing to corn production. Just ship some of those salmon to New England where they will plant them with the corn seed. Or better yet, ship those salmon to me and I'll handle it. Make sure you pack them in lots of dry ice.

I know nothing about the motor!! Never had to deal with that problem. Just the simple stuff, like the pump, pads and spider. Anything else I call my Dad.

Good call, blue. I sure wish I still had that option. My dad died a couple of years ago, about this time of year.
