Thread: Gardens Anybody!!!

Just wanted to know who on the SRP planted a garden this year and what all they planted. Not exactly the finer things like a good cigar but hot sweet corn smothered in butter with a good steak comes in a close second.

Don't have a large area but I have some cherry tomatoes, plum tomatoes, chives, and lots of herbs for cooking: rosemary, thyme, lemon thyme, oregano, sage, regular basil, thai basil, parsley, and taragon.

I only wish I had the space to have my own garden... living in 34 square meters without garden nor balcony...

same here, luckily I have a piece of "flat roof" that I turned into a mini garen with a Japanese style Dear-chase fountain.
When I get my own house, I want a big japanese garden to it, with a koi-pond.

Jalepeno peppers and tomatoes here.

Red currants and gooseberries destroyed by the rain, Victoria plums eaten by wasps and some by us, one tomato plant planted too late so probably no ripe fruits this year and seakale Lilly White that unfortunately does not grow too well on our acid soil. We blanched some last year though.

I do a large garden every year for my parents. Silver queen corn, honey-sweet corn, half runner beans, pole beans, wax beans, peas, cherry tomatoes, beefsteak tomatoes, early girl tomatoes, jalapeno peppers, banana peppers, habenero peppers, all colors of bell peppers, cabbage, brocoli, cucumbers, cantaloupe, watermelon, and I have a pumpkin patch outside of the main garden.

My garden produced very well this year, the weather here was perfect. We are in the process of canning right now. We have so much that we have given a lot of our produce to neighbors and friends. The pumpkins are getting big, I mainly grow them for target practice

I do have a fairly large garden this year I planted sweet corn, yukon potatoes, red onions, string beans, crap ton of hot peppers, green peppers, four different typed of tomatoes, pickles(cucumbers), and pumpkins for the little ones. I also tried for the first year growing popcorn which looks like it will turn out to be a good crop. I did can the beans whats left of them after my pain in the a@@ japanese beatlles took over. Yes they are a problem not only here in the north but I found out as far as mexico these pesky little critters eat and consume. I too like timber use deer fence, a "green" solution for keeping deer and rabbits at bay. So if you guys have a problem with your forest friends this is the best cure for it. So take care and remember that weeding now will provide you with the best fruit, hopefully by the end of october. Thanks for sharing all, its great to know people still take the time to plant a seed or a plant and reap the rewards later. If you don't have a lot of room like some of our friends in europe and here is the u.s., remember that all it takes is a clay pot, a grow light or natural, and some tlc. Take care all.

It is a tasty idea this gardening. When I noticed my neighbors turning the soil I figured I'd wait for the overgrowth.... so no garden this year.

Two words!
