Re: What Do You Grow in Your Garden
PrincessPerky, with little ones, plant radish seeds. Even if the kids won't eat them, the seeds are cheap and they grow and mature quickly.
My garden is small, it is planted in raised beds filled with rich manure, and fenced in to keep the dog out. He loves fresh vegtables as much as we do. I have; 6 beef steak tomatoes. I also have 2 cucumbers, 1 bell pepper, 1 cayenne pepper, 4 bulbs of heirloom elephant garlic, and one section of heirloom Eqyptian Walking onion. (The onions were originally from my Great Grandmother's garden and she died in 1978.) I have added zinna seeds to the four corners of the garden this year.
Tomatoes are our favorites. They are usually ready July 4th here in NC. The first few tomatoes are eaten striaght from the vine. Then I eat a few Sink Sandwiches (Tomato and mayonaise on white bread that is so messy you have to stand over the sink to eat them.) I freeze tomatoes to make soups and stews over the winter months. And then I make salsa.
I also have a fig tree and a pear tree.
I am getting hungry just thinking about all this tasty food!
