Who's got a garden this year ?
 

Just put mine in today, better late than never, been miserable around here, too much rain of late. But I love tomatoes and other veggies fresh from the source, so here we go again, for another round with the weeds :helpme

I've got one going. Some of the lettuce is ready to be picked.

I got, carrots, potatoo's, lettuce, beets, radish, strawberries and blueberries.

Usually I do peas but got lazy this year.

I put mine in about a month ago and it's doing great. I planted corn, zucchini, cucumbers, 2 kinds of onions, 2 kinds of potatoes, tomatoes, brussel sprouts, blueberries, strawberries, lettuce and a peach tree :) I also have an indoor herb garden.

Bad weather here still but got everything in. Slugs are realy buggers this year aswell, chickens cant keep up with them.

Tomatoes
Carrots
Green Beans
Broad Beans
Peas
Squash
Zucchini
Egg Plant
Italian Peppers
Piquillo Peppers
Spinach
Tuscan Black Kale
Loads of herbs

Strawberries
Red Currants

and trying chickpeas this year, never grown them before but thought fuck it give them a go.

I have tomatoes and hot banana peppers growing on my deck will post pics in a bit

My gardener planted a flower garden in both the front and backyard. All kinds of colorful flowers, but no fruits or vegetables.

Nice selection, I have some room left, thinkin of potatoes:thumbsup

Lots of spinach, tomatoes, radish, lettuce, zucchini, peas, some broccoli too. I grow it for the leaves and the florets. Did you know the leaves have 3 times the vitamin A of the florets? Good stuff. Radish leaves are good too, kind of a peppery / mint sort of flavor.

Ripped mine out last week to relocate the beds. Fell behind this year putting in a chicken coop and re-doing some fence lines. If I get time next week, I might put in a bed for cucumbers and greens etc. but I'm too late for tomatoes and peppers. Planning an asparagus bed for next year (won't produce until the year after though)

goodgirl is making herself at home and planted some spinach and chamomile; lesson learned: It is easier to just buy it at Sprouts Farmers Market.

get pepper and tomato plants:2 cents::thumbsup

put cheap beer in shallow bowls and the slugs crawl in and croak

I'm growing tomatoes (different varieties), cucumbers, strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, green peppers plus herb garden.

Tomato's and capsicum

i just made some strong compost tea :thumbsup putting in some okra, tomatoes and bell peppers im growing in containers.

Yep there is some beer out, aswell as cornmeal. But I´ve got 12 raised beds, so they find a way in somewhere. Also the beans are in a drystone walled area, so that gets full of snails hiding in the wall.

tried coffee aswell but that doesnt seems to work.. I´m not talking normal slugs, these are thr Spanish slug.. fuckers are massive. They are 5 inches long.

The other problem with the beer is I have to pick it up everyday, otherwise the chickens try to get the slugs out..

they look pretty massive:Oh crap

their first and last beer :(

I have shitload of strawberries, currants, gooseberries, a grapevine and an appletree.
then a wide variety of herbs.

..and the usual suspects, carrots, beets, potatoes, lettuce, cucumber, zucchini, chili & tomatoes.

I like home grown stuff even though it's not worth the money/hassle if you calculate the costs and time spent on it. So much easier to just buy some genetically manipulated juicy tomatoes. :)

Time yep, but cost? I got 40kilos of tomatoes lastyear for a plant cost of 3 euros.
Peppers I got as plug plants this year, 50 for 4 euros.
eggplants are 50c a plant, and you get around 10 off there.

Everything else I grow from seed, spent 20 euros lastyear, and they´ve done me for this year again.

Makes me get out in the garden for an hour everyday, get a bit of fresh air, working from home you can easily sit in front of the computer all day.

Winter planting saves alot of $. Broccoli, Cabbage, Kale, Salad Greens, Carrots, Parsnips.
Got a fennel crop started just put in seeds today, for a October/November crop, stops them going to seed and not bulbing up if you start now.

i rent a 'lady garden' from time to time...

1200 tomato plants in the greenhouse should yield approx 30 tonnes of tomato this year, in the field I have hot peppers, they are a huge gamble every year, the price fluctuates like crazy and if my gamble pays off and the price stays high during the summer I'm looking at serious cash...

did watermelons last year and broke even, it was my first field plant ever and I was very happy with the results, next year I get my government grant and have 20 hectares at my disposal with top notch irrigation (israeli drippers) and only 10 miles from the border...will try watermelons and honeymelons, in a hot year they are pure gold...

commercial veggies and fruit is a side pet project but I really enjoy it like nothing else...this year I am getting genetically modified bees that will naturally germinate my tomato flowers inside the greenhouse, they are made in holland and are breed to be big and heavy and pollination is an incredible 99.9%...fucking cant wait :D

Got garden and allotment.

Potatoes, 4 different toms, 8 different chillies, squash, pumpkins, aubergines, sweetcorn, spring onions, shallots, 3 different onions, cabbage, brocolli and purple sprouting broc too, all sorts.

Love it.

That's some serious effort right there:thumbsup

We have some corn and had some Pepper plants but they got trampled in a window install. So no peppers but the corn made it.

Just curious. For Tomatoes, do you opt for more stable hybrids, or do you do any heirloom/specialty varieties, since they are greenhouse grown? It's amazing how much the price of produce has jumped in the last year. Good luck on your pet project though. I thought I over-planted one year with 20 tomato plants. Couldn't imagine 1200.

i don't have much of a yard so i only planted a few tomato plants but its better than nothing. my parents have or had a great garden. grew all sorts of stuff but i don't live near them anymore so i can't help them out with it and they're getting on in years so they only grow a few things now. strawberries, tomatoes, beans, potatoes. they always make sure to save some strawberries for me. you just can't buy strawberries like them in stores. they're all gmo frankenberries.

haham this is cool! had no idea so many peeps gardened.

i don't have a spot to garden but was thinking of doing an indoor cactus garden in a big plant pot i have.

We do..

Green Peppers
Red Peppers
Tomatoes
Spinach
jalapenos

I think ill plant a garden today.

life's a garden

I need to start growing some of my own stuff - I tried chillis a year ago but they all died.. not great at watering things lol :) any tips on smaller garden growing? What would work etc? :)

I have a garden with cabbage, tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, eggplant, and green beans. Just spent the last week and a half helping put in my mother-in-laws garden. She has 5 acres in tomatoes, onions, peppers, beets, beans, watermelon, carrots, cabbage, potatoes, and corn. Also put in a an asparagus bed.

no. and it's a bit of a crime as i am in richmond, and it's a place meant to grow food lol

i use self watering buckets :) you can grow two per bucket just make sure to use some good soil.

I have some fruit trees as well, 2 apple, 2 peach, 2 pear and a plum, but they are a pain in the ass, high maintenace with all the spraying:disgust

We have fruit trees..

My cherry tree is getting dive bomded by birds, but the airsoft m16 fired out the office window does the job. Need to get my damn cat up in the branches in a basket.:)

No place to grow vegetables like below sea level :1orglaugh

Opted for a lake instead this year.
Going very well so far.

Holy shit :helpme

MOAR Salad bar :upsidedow

is that like Farmville?

well done because fruit, vegetables, meat, seafood, protein and water are all you really do need to live on, nothing else.

yea growing food on deltas

that never happens.

Watcha growing in doors?

Just went out and looked at the veggies; I see why we need Monsanto.

Just ordered this bad boy for the side of my house: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I'm pretty excited about it. Already got tomato and pepper plants sprouting in some cups :)
