How many of you have vegetable gardens?

I do. I'm growing tomatoes, spinach, broccoli, cucumbers, green beans, yellow squash and scallions this year. Had the first 3 yellow squash of the year for dinner 2 nights ago. Yum.Sauteed with onions in lemon olive oil and sprinkled with Parmesan cheese and garlic powder. I have 2 little anoles that keep me company when I water.

I do too. Its been keeping me busy getting everything in the ground. Not sure what is better "therapy"...gardening or quilting! We are pulling up the last of the turnip greens and cabbages in the next week or two. Lettuce is still good though and I should have another batch of broccoli. By June the lettuce will probably be bitter tasting. In so far are tomatoes, peppers, several different types of squash, a couple eggplants (new this year), cucumbers, beans, corn. Still to come is okra and more beans. I want to put up as much as I can this year. I don't have good luck with melons so I don't think I will put any out. I also have some herbs growing here and there around the yard.....oh and onions. we got tons of onions free and so far they all look good. In the fall I will do more squash, peas, cabbages, greens and lettuce. My cabbage and greens overwintered and we ate fresh ones all winter. Next year I'd like to try potatoes....although the thought of growing enough potatoes to feed this crew is impossible....every little bit helps.

I love gardening. I am single and have been hoping to meet a man who likes gardening as well. Can't imagine if he liked to quilt too. Wouldn't that be funny? LOL Seems like the only ones I meet only want to ride their bikes.
