that doesn't sound like a little garden at all! i'm totally jealous.

this is a plantation nicole.

i have plot for a garden in the back yard left by the lad owner but i'm to scared/lazy to try and make it happen...

*last not lad

oh man!



I wish. maybe tomatoes. not sure how to keep my dog from eating or peeing on garden stuff, though

thats one of my biggest worries too becca... everytime i think about doing i think of another excuse not to... :-/

I love home grown produce. I help my Dad with his garden and we have the following foods every year:

Corn

Peppers (banana & bell)

Tomato

Peas

Spinach

Strawberry

Squash

Pumpkin

Cantaloupe

Watermelon

Red Potatoes

Radish

Onion

And a bunch of other stuff that I can't think of.

haha same here. plus my dad is all "I think there's lead paint in the soil cause this house is so old..."

whoa, epic garden! pumpkin & potatoes

Well the actual "garden" area is only about 8'x8'. We have stuff in stair planters too.



You need a fence, Matt!



Oooh I want to grow peas too! Do you do anything special for the melons, Derek?

Go, Jeff! :)

i have one big orange pumpkin. i planted the seeds from the one i carved at halloween but because they didn't flower until after summer there's no bees around to pollenate them so i was doing it myself and only managed a single one.

I am growing a passion for being covered in dirt.



Also, my friend grows cabbage, blueberries, strawberries, and pot.



I accidentally grow sunflowers in our indoor riding arena every summer.

At least you got one, Leon!



I want to try blueberries, Sarah! How do you accidentally grow sunflowers?

I teach riding camp in there, and I gave my counselors sunflower seeds to shut them up about being tired, and I guess they accidentally spit out some seeds with the shells.



I'm wondering how they grow in the dark!

MAGIC!

Why half sad face? You can always cut it to make it shorter if you end up not liking it long!

I want a garden.

One day I'll have one. :)

Until then can I come over and visit yours?

my dad used to grow mint (like, LOTS AND LOTS OF MINT) and tomatoes and strawberries and various types of squash. and this other plant thing that you make into soup but i'm not sure what it's called in english. the internet told me that it's the jute plant? i dunno.



I love mint so much!

-Basil

-Mint

-Parsley

-Cilantro

-Oregano

-Rosemary

-Thyme

-Lavender

-Tomatoes

-Hot Peppers

-Strawberries

-Raspberries



And the rest is a flower garden filled with tulips, peonies, pansies, Gerber daises, hydrangeas, ranunculus, hyacinths, black-eyed Susans, and a wide variety of roses :)



And my Soils professor actually grows wheat in his backyard, I really want to try that too. Maybe next year.

I keep trying to start grape vines and blueberry bushes, but my German Shepard keeps eating the plants.



I grow tomatoes and peppers in pots every year.

Wait wait wait.....so the title of this blog is "Are you growing anything?" .... and there are 27 comments .... but still nobody has mentioned anything about their boner?



*shocked*

I'm growing a boner.

it's too early to be planting anything here right now, and many of the garden centers don't have much of a selection yet, other than frost tolerant flowers, but i've turned my beds over & have been prepping them for planting.



i'm not fully decided what i'm planting this year, tomatoes are a given, i did buy some moon & stars melon seeds off the internet, that i'm pretty excited about.



this last year i grew:

several varieties of large heirloom tomatoes

roma tomatoes

cherry tomatoes

acorn squash

banana peppers

bell peppers

green beans

purple green beans

green table grapes

quince

apricots

feverfew

lavender

mint

spearmint

pineapple mint



gotta love that mint!

i also started a marionberry plant, but those take time.



i won't even get started on the flowers & such.

way too many to list...

Go team!

I'm growing a chia pet...does that count?

I wish I could grow a garden. We don't even get much natural light in here. Mostly I'm going to grow chubby and pasty.

I've always wanted a garden, but I have the blackest of thumbs. I can kill plants with a single look :o(

Chia Pets totally count!



Could you grow stuff on the roof, Jen?

Aubs! :( I bet you could do it!

Oh yea! We grow hay at the barn.



And then we bale it, and we stack it in the barn. And by 'we', I mostly mean I.



We store at least 12,000 bales, but we put up around 14,000 (people take them out of the lofts while we're still filling them).



My hands touch almost every bale that goes into the barns.

Red Peppers

Pumpkins

Tomatos

Asparagus

The sunflowers and broccoli-flower have sprouted!

So far we've had broccoli, tomatoes (yellow and red) strawberries, banana peppers, peas, cucumbers and an absurd amount of mint. They've all been yummy!

I just got a bunch of herbs for my apartment! Rosemary, purple basil (purple pesto will be the best), oregano, lavender, parsley, and this awesome chocolate mint plant. It really smells and tastes that chocolate mint. I'm going to take a cutting from my mum's lemon mint too.

Where are you growing stuff? I wonder if there are any vegetables that would do okay on a balcony/apartment. In my experience zucchini grows anywhere. Tomatoes would probably be okay because we get a lot of sun, as long as they don't get too dry.

PURPLE PESTO SOUNDS AMAZING!

We have a little garden patch in our side yard. It gets full sun in the early morning, then partial sun the rest of the day and it seems to all be doing pretty well.

Cucumbers and tomatoes would probably work for you but the cucumbers spread like crazy!

I killed my squash. But I do container gardening and it is too too too too too hot right now on my balcony :(

yeah, any cucumbers or squash would probably spread too far for my pathetic little balcony. I'm considering tomatoes.
My best friend as a kid had a tiny little orange tree growing in her house. It bore fruit, too. I wonder about that.
