Does mold count? J/K had to add steer manure to the garden this year last year the weeds did wonderfully.

Going to try to this summer.

Do not.... Too busy consuming it ? ( sorry ahead of time, can't help myself... I know, I know ). Lets make a deal, if I find friends that grow food then I'll send them your way. Cheers !!

Yes, tomatoes, green beans, peppers and pumpkins. We have a small garden spot on our property. We grow them because it's delicious.

I can't even keep a pet rock alive

I once had a very extensive hydroponics setup with 24 multi-level planters. Was a huge time commitment, and while I loved what I was producing, it got out of control with the weeds and I pulled it all out. I also cannot possibly consume the output of a garden that large now that my wife and I had bariatric surgery. So we made it all flowering plants now.

Last year we put in a raised plot. Only 4'x4', but you would not believe the veggies we got. Over 100 big ripe tomatos, dozens of ghost peppers, zucchini, sweet peppers. We put a little sign on it..... FARMVILLE. Haha.

The last time, I tried I planted tomatoes. We had a wet summer and most rotted before they were ripe. I don't even like tomatoes; so I gave up on them.

I try and try. I have a very limited area in my yard to grow on and that is in the shade beginning about 3-4. A lot of effort and little payback.

I let my friends and family grow food and we work it out in trade or services. I've got a small yard and don't want to take away my dogs outside playspace.

I do! I planted asparagus crowns the other day and I planted 20 heirloom tomatoes night before last to transplant around June 1. Tonight I'll plant some okra that I'll transplant down in June. I usually germinate indoors and transplant later on to get a head start on my season. I'd grow 20 acres if I had the acreage and a market. Oh, and someone to grow with

I've always wanted my own garden. I want flowers though. I do like fresh veggies to eat though. At my old place, a resident watched over a mini garden. It looked nice. I miss all the flowers that grew in the yard. I love flowers. I love to take photos of them with my good digital camera someone gave me. I never pick flowers. To me that would be destroying nature.

Last summer I grew lots of kale & basil and was blown away! They both added such a flavorful and tasty texture, I could not get enough. I also planted lots of tomatos, carrots, peppers, cucumbers, chard, green onions, squash, broccoli, & caulliflower... I had a good summer last year for growing here in michy...

I grow fruit right now but plan on a garden later

Yes. I use raised beds as well. My career has me indoors, on my butt and in front of a computer all day. I like having something to do that requires some manual labor with tangible and tasty results. It's very relaxing. I especially enjoy sitting on the deck after working in the garden having a cold beer.

I grow herbs - basil, thyme, chives, oregano, mint, and occasionally a few others. Tomatoes, beans, peppers, and squash join the mix occasionally.

Not like that !
Is that your garden ? Wow !!!

Nothing as delicious looking as that...I've always leaned toward herbs and some veggies. It's comforting to know the rabbits are dining on carrot curry. ( Now that I mention it, that sounds pretty good... )

No... but that will be good reason to own property... as a child lived in houses with mango, acerola, hot peppers, lemon, plantines, naranja, and others produce, grandma used for cooking and home remedies... great childhood memories. In Crete... getting a fresh lemon from the tree for tequila shots impressed the Scandinavian guests to my place. Oh the memories and good health of what you can grow! Thank You for your Post.

I have a vegetable garden. My father used to do a lot of gardening, but he's reduced what he grows to just a few crops (tomatoes, zucchini, yellow squash, onions), so I've started picking up the slack (carrots, radishes, snap peas, green beans, more onions, etc.). I like fresh vegetables and think it's healthy to eat homegrown foods. I'm planning to expand a bit this spring and summer, setting a crop replacement schedule and adding a few extras (kale, Brussels sprouts, potatoes).

I am not in circumstances where I can do that, but I admire those who are, and do. My grandparents had a vegetable garden in the Central Valley in CA at their modest little house, and my grandmother cooked what seemed to me the best food I ever ate. You're very fortunate.

We have had gardens in the past, but have not had one for several years. I would love to start one again. We have a large backyard, but unfortunately not a lot of time to care for a garden right now.

I did, when I lived in the US, to have fresh, tasty, organic food.
Since I moved to Thailand, the fresh food is so cheap, no need to grow my own.

I do well with herbs, peppers, and tomatoes. I made some raised beds and planted other vegetables, but rabbits and insects did a number on them. Since I didn't want to use insecticides, it was difficult to keep the pests away. Maybe I'll try again some day, but this year I will just stick with the plants that have worked for me.

I grow herbs and tomatoes. I love fresh sun and vine ripened tomatoes. I eat them right off the vine. I grow other things from time to time, depends on what catches my eye at the garden center.
