any gardeners?
This is my second year with a full veggie garden. Before that I just grew herbs, strawberries and tomatoes on my patio.
Last year I just kind of threw some starts and seeds into the ground and waited to see what happened. This year is kind of the same - the garden was a complete mess 3 weeks ago. Luckily my parents bought an electric tiller so we were able to till and amend w/ compost in one day. (last year DH did the whole 900 sq ft. by hand!!!).
But I'm looking forward to it!
so far I have planted:
Strawberries(lots), onions (red, white, and yellow + shallots), potatoes, peppers (hot and bell), tomatoes (4), spinach, radish, carrots, various summer and winter squash, eggplant, peas, beans, rhubarb, artichoke, and by request from MH - watermelon and corn. I think we will also do pumpkins like last year.
Last year was unusually warm so everything did really well - hope that wasn't a fluke and my peppers, watermelon and eggplant do ok again this year.

Ha ha ha!!! Robbie - we posted the exact same topic at the same time! Great minds think alike - or we're both bored at work at 4:30

I'm sooo jealous about your electric tiller! Manually working the dirt is quite the (back) workout! I'd love to see pics!
