We have a garden also.

I've planted (that I started from seed) tomato, green & yellow pepper, jalapenos, green & wax beans, peas carrots, radishes, green onions, broccoli, zucchini, summer squash, cucs, plus basil, thyme, parsley and oregano.

Now all I have to do is keep a deer out of it!!! Haven't had deer go after my garden until this year! I guess that they didn't like that I put Irish Springs out to keep them away from my lillies. :lol: :lol: Purchased more Irish Springs for my garden. Time will tell!!

That's not including the 5 large blueberry bushes (almost trees) and numerous blackberry bushes. Had to buy netting to keep the birds away from these. Last year they took almost the whole crop when we were on vaca.

I will take a picture (if it stops raining) of what it looks like now LOL

I also have TONS of tomatos planted in little buckets and I know they are loving the rain we have had the last few days.

I have too much shade in the back for a real garden,so I have tomato plants in containers on the side of the house. They get the most sun there and seem to do well. Not really a garden, but hey, it's better than none!!

My brother and I planted a garden together this year. We have 14 tomato plants, assorted hot peppers, green peppers, egg plant, string beans, cucumbers, acorn squash, zuccini, sunflowers, onions, turnips (yuck), cantelope and watermellon.

LOL! My son,when he was about 8 years old, did a science project on how seeds spread..Bird poop is one way, or they dropped some and took seed right where they landed!

We have lots of varieties of peppers, 25 tomatos, zuchinni and summer squash, a few eggplant and 2 rows of fingerling potatoes, all are doing well. Last year the summer was so cool the tomatos did not do well at all.

Thanks for sharing...... bird poop :shock: :shock: guess it made great fertilizer because the canes are about 6 feet tall and it is only the beginning of june I can't wait to see how tall they get. :D :D

My garden consist of 4 tomato plants and 1 cucumber plant that I have on my front porch in the topsy turvy containers. This is the first time that I have tried growing the cucumbers in the topsy turvy. So far they are definitely growing, lets hope they produce!
