Re: What are you planning on growing this summer?

  • I'm trying to figure out what to plant right now, I know I need a lot of herbs and I would really like to plant some strawberries but they take two years to fruit and we are in a rental. 

     

    Last year we planted way too much zuchinni and squash it almost overtook the garden and I needed a lot more herbs,

     

    So my plan right now is:

    Zuchinni

    Squash

    Tomatoes

    onions

    peppers

    Rosemary

    Basil

    Parsley

    Cilantro

    Sweet Lavender

     

     

  • Tomatoes, basil, oregano, peppers have all been started with seeds.

    I also have seeds for corn and green beans, but those say to sow directly in the ground.

  • I'm not sure what I'm going to do yet. The weather here is mild, so I can at least attempt to grow a lot!

    I'll probably have:

    Zucchini
    Summer Squash
    Broccoli
    Strawberries
    Lettuce
    Grape tomatoes
    Dill
    Chives

    I might throw some other stuff in there... but at this point, I'm not sure what that is, yet. Gardening stuff is on my radar for this weekend, though! ;)
  • I need to plant a lot of herbs. I already have parsley and dill in one pot. I'd like to grow rosemary, mint, lettuce, chives and tomatoes.
