Thread: It's gardening time!

So, the nice weather is around the corner, and in my neck of the woods planting time is coming up soon.

My garden is small, about 16'x16', but gives me many hours of enjoyment every season and it's a very rewarding endeavor for me. Every year I plant tomatoes; paste for canning, and a few varieties of slicing tomatoes that change every year. I put about 24 plants in the ground, half the spread, and fill the rest with zucchini, cucumbers, string beans, basil, parsley and one hot pepper plant in honor of my father in law. Every year I try something new like eggplants, sweet peppers, corn, watermelon, muskmelon and others. All of them have done well with the exception of the watermelon, which I tried twice and didn't do well, a heartbreaking experience since I was so looking forward to some moon and stars. I may try again this year.

So... do you garden? What do you grow? Pictures always tell a better story

Here's my garden in 2009; last year I got blight and I don't speak about it except to call it the black season
