What are you growing in your garden?

[shelbylovesmelby]

I've got 4 varieties of tomatos. 3 zuchini plants. I'm trying my hand at some couliflour & brocoli and they aren't doing too well

[contrary1]

I've got 8 tomato plants, but nothing ripening yet on those. Picking zuchinni already, using it in everything including Chocolate Cake (yummy)
Radishes are on the 4th or 5th planting too.........as is the mixed greens area for salads. There are 2 types of onions, Walla Walla sweets and a winter keeper.......I've been snipping off a couple onion greens for salads too lately.
Sugar snap peas, or pea pods,whatever they are really called........are growing like crazy. They really seem to like the hot weather. Stir frying them, and eating them raw in salads. They also make a terrific sweet pickle if you're into canning.
Green beans are setting...........I'll have enough to can a couple kettles worth I think, along with all we can eat fresh.
We did have strawberries earlier in the month.....not enough to freeze, but all we wanted to eat fresh & as desserts. (way more than I would have bought if I had to get them at the store)
A couple servings of cherries.........the tree is pretty small & there were birds sitting sentry on the crop!
Other squash that will be coming on later, for fall harvesting.....

The surprise is the rhubarb I transplanted earlier this summer, it has exploded and I have been using off of the plants all along. It is supposed to be a spring plant, but these are all mixed up. Plenty of rhubarb to freeze for use this winter.

Looking forward to getting more in my garden this coming year, when I've had more time to clear the ground.

Raspberries, strawberries, big tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, grape tomoatoes, bell peppers, green beans and sugar snap peas...I think that is everything. Not a lot of any one plant, but enough to be fun.

I have mostly herbs and vegetables.

I am going through the seed catalogues now for my garden planning...

I'm growing snow and ice in mine right now.

once we move into our new house i am thinking of setting up a little vege patch (well - we have a quarter of an acre, so it might be a bit more than little). I want to try my hand at lettuce, beetroot, carrots, tomatoes, cucumbers, herbs for starters and then look into other veges like zucchini, capsicum and pumpkin and potato varieties.

Since I have a very limited space of about 10x 35 ft my garden consists of raised beds, 2 dwarf fruit trees and in the beds I plant high yielding low maintenance fruits and vegetables like tomatoes, peppers, and zucchini.

In addition, I do have some patches of wild berries on the cliffside of my property

Herbs I grow in 5 gallon pails on the porch.

This year I saved the seeds of the bell peppers and going to plant within the next week to see if they sprout before the seed sales. It seems to me bell peppers are the hardest seeds to find discounted.

Man, all that just sounds delicious.

I assume by "capsicum" you are talking about chili peppers. I ask this because the only time I've heard this term is in reference to pepper spray(active ingredient is a derivative of this). I think it is from cayenne peppers.

Btw, I've planted most of the things mentioned but not as many of the root plants. I'm mainly a pepper and tomato gardener and of course lots of herbs.

no not chilli peppers. i think you guys call them bell peppers? they are the large, non-spice variety.

[GREENBACK]

Ok. I guess Capsicum simply means pepper then. Yes, our "Bell Peppers" would be the large bulbous looking green, red or yellow peppers that aren't hot.

I'm beginning to have gardening fantasies. All of the garden magazines are starting to come in the mail. I want to grow it all!!!

[SnoopyCool]

We have limited space, so we're considering only growing tomatoes this year so we'll have enough to can. Though we may grow a small garden besides this for variety.
