anyone else doing a veggie garden this year?

What are you planting?

We haven't bought anything yet, but here's the plan:
- cherry tomatoes (3)
- Big Boy tomatoes (3)
- zucchini (2)
- maybe some yellow squash
- broccoli (4)
- blueberry bush
- pumpkins
- jalapenos
- anaheim chiles
- basil
- thyme or rosemary ( I can't decide)

Maybe some of these (if I can find them)
- butternut squash
- acorn squash

  • We can't get grass to grow in our yard so a veggie garden has been put on hold again lol

  • I've decided that I'm just going to do container gardening this year. We've had a full garden the last 2 years, but between Alabama clay and the damn rabbits, it's just not worth it. The only thing I had real luck with last year was squash and cucumbers, and they practically give those away in the summer anyway.

    I'm going to do containers of spinach, leaf lettuce, and herbs and use my topsy turby for tomatoes again. That's all I'm doing.

  • I suck.  Every year I say I am going to, and I never do. :(  Last year I was all set to, but then broke my arm.  I also think my yard is too shady.  I have thought about doing just stuff on the deck (basil, cilantro, parsely) and tomato plants.  I may plant a blueberry bush, because there is a place on my street that sells them.  Any pointers?

  • of course I am- we have two- one at our house and one at the farm.

    our house-mostly herbs or things that need constant attention.

    parsley, cilantro, lettuce, spinach, oregano, thyme, lavender, rosemary, basil, carrots (we planted in pots to try this year) two cherry tomato plants, zucchini, and we are doing a lettuce table like in this slideshow:

    There are good tips on there.

    At the farm-

    We are scaling back our section to 75 tomato plants, bush beans, cucumbers, bell peppers, jalapeno peppers, ornamental chilis that we use for spice, carrots, radishes, melon and strawberries.

    My dad will plant the corn, his tomatos (we make wine so its a yours and mine kind of thing) peppers, eggplant and zucchini.

    I'm new to blueberries this year, I got nothin.  From what I hear they are pretty easy though.

  • We live in a park. Unless you have it raised and completely fenced in, everything gets eaten by every animal imaginable. 
    Baby, you've got the sort of eyes that tell me tales...
